Bengaluru Surgeon Arrested for Allegedly Killing Wife, Reveals Plan to His Lover
Incident Overview
A Bengaluru surgeon, Mahendra Reddy, is facing accusations of murdering his wife, Kruthika Reddy, a dermatologist. Recent investigations have unveiled details suggesting that Reddy had conspired with his lover to cover up the crime, one year after the murder incident.
The alleged murder took place on April 21, 2023, when Kruthika reportedly fell ill at their home. Mahendra transported her to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The initial assessment indicated natural causes; however, further investigation prompted authorities to suspect foul play.
Allegations and Arrest
Mahendra Reddy was arrested in October 2023, nearly six months after the incident. Police officials indicated that he utilized his medical expertise to manipulate circumstances surrounding his wife’s death, aiming to present it as a natural occurrence and evade immediate investigation.
As the investigation progressed, law enforcement officials discovered that Reddy was involved in a romantic relationship with a nurse named Harishtha. Communication found between the two was pivotal in advancing the case against him.
Incriminating Evidence
Authorities reported that Reddy employed unconventional methods to communicate with Harishtha. Rather than using typical messaging services like WhatsApp, he opted for UPI payment applications, which he believed would provide anonymity.
The digital evidence gathered against Reddy is extensive, with the Forensic Science Laboratory uncovering over 1.03 million digital files, including conversations from PhonePe, deleted data, personal photographs, and other pertinent items that form the basis of the charges against him.
Messages Indicating Guilt
Some of the messages exchanged between Reddy and Harishtha suggest premeditation and awareness of his wrongdoing. In one message, he allegedly instructed her, “Do not text or call me anywhere after you see this message. I will call you once everything is settled. Mostly police will call you to ask what’s our relation, tell we are friends…”
In another troubling message, Reddy reportedly confessed, “I don’t have proof but I have killed Kruthika. I will go behind bars…” Further communications reveal expressions of emotional turmoil, with Reddy stating that he would “live life like a murderer.”
Marital Background
Mahendra and Kruthika Reddy were married in May 2024 and both were employed at a hospital in Bengaluru. The allegations of murder and the subsequent evidence gathered have sparked significant public interest and media coverage.
Court Proceedings
A local court has denied Mahendra Reddy’s request for bail, referencing the serious nature of the charges and the substantial digital evidence compiled by investigators. The case continues to unfold as more details emerge regarding the circumstances surrounding Kruthika’s death.
