The deceased are identified as Shobha Poojary (45) and Shivananda Poojary (55), residents of Pilar.
It is learnt, Shobha's son Karthik had called his mother on her phone at around 12 noon on Thursday. As she did not receive the call, he called up the neighbour. When neighbour Shakunthala Shetty visited Karthik’s house, Shobha was found dead in her bedroom.
