CCTV Footage Raises Suspicion as Husband Accuses Acquaintance of Involvement, Police Launch Probe in Bagalgunte Case

Bengaluru: In a mysterious and sensational case reported from Bengaluru, a woman who stepped out of her house on the pretext of dumping garbage has gone missing, with her husband alleging that she eloped with an acquaintance after allegedly drugging him with sleeping pills.

The incident has been reported under the jurisdiction of the Bagalgunte Police Station, where authorities have registered a case and initiated an investigation into the disappearance.

Left home, saying she would dump the garbage

According to the complaint filed by Sharath Kumar, his wife Priyanka left their residence late at night, claiming she was going out to dispose of garbage. However, she never returned, raising alarm within the family.

CCTV footage from the area reportedly shows Priyanka stepping out of the house at around 11:57 pm on April 11, carrying a bag along with the garbage bin, which has further deepened suspicions surrounding the case.

Husband Alleges Elopement with Acquaintance

Sharath Kumar has accused a man identified as Prabhu, who runs a local cutting shop, of being involved in his wife’s disappearance. He alleged that Priyanka and Prabhu were in regular contact and used to meet when he was away at work.

The couple, who have two children, were residing in the Bagalgunte area. The husband claimed that he had earlier warned his wife following a dispute involving Prabhu, indicating prior tensions linked to their association.

Serious Allegations of Drugging Before Disappearance

In a shocking claim, Sharath Kumar alleged that Priyanka mixed sleeping pills in his meal on the night of her disappearance, rendering him unconscious before leaving the house.

“She left after I was asleep. I suspect she planned this and left with Prabhu,” the complainant reportedly told police.

These allegations are currently under investigation, and officials are working to verify the claims through medical and forensic examination.

Police Probe Underway

The Bagalgunte Police have registered a missing person case and are actively investigating all angles, including possible elopement, abduction, and premeditated planning. Efforts are underway to trace Priyanka and identify the exact sequence of events leading to her disappearance.

Authorities are also analysing CCTV footage, call records, and other digital evidence to determine whether the woman left voluntarily or under coercion.

Rising Concerns Over Missing Cases and Domestic Disputes

As the search continues, police have urged the public to come forward with any relevant information that could assist in locating the missing woman.
