Daughter also named accused, both suffering from mental illness, say police sources
FROM being the former first lady of the state police, Pallavi Om Prakash has been arrested in connection with the murder of her husband, former Director General and Inspector General of Police (DG&IGP) Om Prakash.
She and their daughter Kriti have been named as accused one and two in the First Information Report (FIR) registered by jurisdictional HSR police, based on Prakash's son Karthikesh's complaint.
Soon after the murder, Pallavi is said to have called a former DGP's wife in the neighbourhood. She reportedly told her that she has finished him. Pallavi then allegedly did a video call with the person, who in turn called the pan-India police emergency number 112, and alerted the police control room.
