Bengaluru supari, murder in Sydney? Cops suspect local connection

The New South Wales Police have recently submitted a report to the court revealing the shocking fact. A three-member team from New South Wales police visited Bengaluru last month to question Prabha’s family, friends and colleagues.

Remember Prabha Arun Kumar, a Bengalurean who was brutally stabbed in Sydney couple of years ago? Reports have now revealed that her murder was likely planned in Karnataka. The Australian police have been investigating the case for quite some time now. They have recently submitted a report to the court revealing the shocking fact.

A three-member team from New South Wales police – headed by Richi Sim and comprising constables L Daniel and Bika Singh had visited Bengaluru last month to question Prabha’s family, friends and colleagues. Sim, Daniel and Bika took the help of CID and interrogated Prabha’s husband Arun Kumar as well, who has been living with his daughter in this city.

"The team questioned 28 persons during its stay here. Prabha's husband, parents, close family friends and colleagues were questioned and it has been videographed. During their interaction with local police, the Australian team said it suspects a close family member to be the prime accused," a source was quoted as saying by The Times of India.

The New South Wales Police had even summoned Arun Kumar to Australia twice – in 2015 and 2016 for interrogation. According to the reports submitted by the police, it seems that a close family member opposed Prabha’s decision of moving to Australia. Therefore, robbery was clearly not the motif as after she was injured in Parramatta Park in Sydney, all her valuables remained as it was.  

"We are told that Prabha's decision to become an Australian citizen was opposed by close family members. We think this could have sparked off a tussle and led to the killing. Investigations revealed that a close family member was upset with Prabha over a property-related issue. The man in question had accused Prabha of becoming a nuisance in getting his share of property," the source added.
