She mixed sleeping pills in father's milk. And then stabbed him to death, with boyfriend's help

Class 9 student in Bengaluru carries out devilish plot because family was objecting to 'relationship'

The murder of 41-year-old businessman Jai Kumar Jain at his Rajajinagar residence has been solved; shockingly, it was his 15-year-old daughter and her 18-year-old boyfriend who struck the last blow – and then burnt the body to make it look like a fire accident.

The daughter has confessed to the crime, the police said on Monday.

Earlier reports said that her boyfriend was studying B.Com but the police have clarified that he was in the same school as the girl.

The trigger for the gruesome murder seems to be the parents’ objection to the girl’s relationship. After coming to know her closeness with her boyfriend, her parents allegedly thrashed her and also kept warning her. Frustrated over her parents coming in the way of her friendship, she allegedly hatched a plot along with her boyfriend.

The burnt body of Jain, an apparel businessman, was found in his house on Sunday morning in the bathroom. His daughter had allegedly screamed for help which alerted the neighbours and the firemen and police were called in. However, police found blood stains on the victim's bed and the bedroom floor and knew that it was not an accident.



When questioned about the incident, the daughter kept changing her statements. This made the police suspicious and finally on Monday, she confessed to the crime.

"Her parents after getting to know their daughter's closeness with Praveen also found out that the two were roaming together and were also reportedly going to shopping malls. They also found out that she was spending way too much time talking on the phone with her alleged boyfriend. They are alleged to have beaten and repeatedly advised her. She then hatched a plot to kill her father," said an officer who is part of the investigations.

After recording the girl’s statements, police were able to recreate the sequence of events. This is what happened:

On August 17, Jain's wife and son went to Pondicherry for a family function. Jain's daughter, who was at home with him, mixed sleeping pills in a glass of milk and gave it to him as he had the habit of drinking milk before going to bed. She then called her boyfriend home and the two stabbed Jain to death around 2 am while he was asleep. Then they tried to dispose of the body but feared getting caught by the police. The duo then dragged the body to the bathroom and set it on fire.

On Sunday around 9 am, neighbours heard Jain's daughter screaming that their house had caught fire; neighbours then reported the matter to the fire control room control. The fire department personnel and the police who rushed to the spot saw the burnt body of Jain. The police found out that Jain's daughter was hospitalised as she had sustained burns.

"Police who searched for clues in the house found blood stains on the bed. They also found out blood stained clothes was washed in the bathroom. Efforts to clean the blood stains also came to the notice of the police. After killing Jain, the two had gone to a petrol bunk and had purchased petrol. Using petrol, they had set the body on fire. Both the accused had sustained burns to their feet while they were pouring petrol on the body.

Praveen, a resident of Rajajinagar 20th main, has been arrested and the victim's daughter is undergoing treatment in the hospital and will be taken into custody after treatment," the officer added.

The Rajajinagar police has registered a case and are further investigating.
