According to the police, Gollababu had long harboured suspicions about his wife’s fidelity. Late last night, he allegedly caught Faithamma and Ganesh Kumar together in an under-construction building where the couple had been living and working for the past two months. Enraged, Gollababu attacked both of them with a wooden stick, killing them instantly.

After the double murder, Gollababu reportedly called his relatives, informing them of his actions. He told them he had killed both his wife and her lover and would take his own life as well. The family, initially thinking he was under the influence of alcohol, did not intervene.

Tragically, Gollababu later committed suicide by hanging himself from a window on the third floor of the same building. His body was discovered by the police when they arrived at the scene after receiving the distressing call from his family.

Further investigations revealed that the couple had a son who had left town two days before the incident. Ganesh Kumar, who had been a close friend of their son, was working as a plasterer at the same construction site and had developed a relationship with Faithamma, which led to the violent confrontation.

The Konanakunte Police have registered a case and are continuing their investigation into the matter. The Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), South Division, Lokesh Jagalasar, confirmed that the incident was fueled by suspicions of infidelity. Both Gollababu and his wife were originally from Andhra Pradesh and had been living in a shed at the construction site for the past few months.
