The wife of former Karnataka Director General of Police (DGP) Om Prakash, who was recently found dead, has made serious allegations against the late officer, claiming he frequently brought a gun home and threatened both her and their daughter.
According to her statement given to the police, as reported by Hindustan Times, Pallavi claimed that Om Prakash threatened and tried to kill them.
“On Sunday morning, too, there was a fight at home over some issues. In the afternoon, the fight escalated and Om Prakash tried to kill us,” a senior police officer said, citing Pallavi’s statement, Hindustan Times reported.
As per the PTI, when police took Pallavi to the crime scene, she told reporters there that “domestic violence” was the reason behind the extreme step.
“The investigating officer in the case has arrested Pallavi Om Prakash (64),” the officer added.
Later, she was produced before a judge, who sent her to judicial custody for 14 days.
The body of the former Karnataka police chief, a 1981 batch IPS officer hailing from Bihar, was found in a pool of blood on the ground floor of his three-storey house in the posh HSR Layout in the city on Sunday.
