Bengaluru: I always trusted my wife says Rajesh who killed wife’s lover


Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (RJP)

Bengaluru, Jan 16: “In the thirteen years of our married life, I always trusted my wife. Though some people complained to me against her in the recent past, I did not believe them,” said Rajesh who killed lawyer Amith, his wife Shruthi Gowda’s lover.

These words came from Rajesh while he gave a statement to police in relation to the crime.

Rajesh and his father Gopalakrishna had spotted Amith and Shruthi together in a car and shot Amith. Shruthi who took injured Amith to a hospital disappeared from there and later committed suicide in a lodge. Amith succumbed to injuries in the hospital. Both Rajesh and his father have admitted to crime though it is believed that the father shot Amith. Both of them surrendered immediately after Amith was shot.

“As Shruthi held a respectable government job, I was thinking she knew her responsibilities well and lived accordingly. I had an impression that, as a government worker, it was natural for her to mingle with people. I gave her full freedom. But since past six months some people started complaining about her. I took time to understand the facts.” Rajesh added in his statement.

The driver of the car, who brought Rajesh and Gopalakrishna to the spot of the shootout, will be made a witness, police said.

After the father and son were produced in court on Saturday, they were recommended to 5 days police custody.

Meanwhile the mobile used by Shruthi has been found and being analyzed by police.

Amith’s funeral was held on Sunday which was attended by former union minister Veerappa Moily, legislator Srinivasa Murthy and senior advocate C V Nagesh.

    If we determine the community the people belong to based on the names .... it seems that there is a difference in the way people think based on the community they represent. People of one community seems to be certainly more progressive in their thinking.

    I dont understand why did he took his father along ,to kill her lover.Father should have not mingled in their affair.Both went with wish to kill them.Father should have told his son not to kill but talk with wife and counselled .Now he says of trusted her.where was he all the time,when his wife was with lover.?He could divorce and lead his own life ,instead of killing.Iam sure there was something wrong between them.when one is happy in married life,wouldnt go taste the savour fruit.May her soul rest in peace.

    Rita,
    If shruti did not develop any good relations with her husband within 13 years of marriage,it was not only Rajesh's faults but also her faults.If she was not happy with her husband,she could simply go for taking divorce and enjoy with her boyfriend openly forever.After all,she was an economically independent woman.But she didn't.Being in marriage relationship with her husband considering marriage as a just social needs,she started enjoying with her boyfriend and maintained it despite of repeated warning from her husband and father in law. Why was she in this marriage? Was she not playing with her husband's emotion,trust?

    1. Rajesh and Shruti both are married legally or morally(Morally means .. Married in the place of worship) which is True & all Agree
    2.Legally or morally married not illegal or immoral act right? that is also True
    3.Here what is illegal or immoral is: Having extra marital affair or illicit relationship, above all cheating husband and cheating god(God never forgive..sooner or later )
    4.People like Shruti who have so many desires and expectation have to go places like Thailand, Cyprus and some part Morocco or Mexico.. why she destroyed the Rajesh life? I am sure her mother must have all answers who did not give her what is best teaching for the life , after all no one has right to destroy others life right? that too just to have fun outside the boundary. If someone like Rajesh makes of his mind he had also lot of opportunities? why Rajesh didn't do that ? Because he trusted his wife and god.. is that mistake???of course not.. Rajesh is not a drug addict
    5.Rajesh loved his wife
    6.Rajesh provided all basic needs Food, Clothing and Shelter, of course small things do happens..for that we have digestion system within body.

    Peter, three points
    1. Let us nor bring shruti mother here. After 13years of marriage, if shruri did not develop enough belongingness, then it is the fault of Rajesh family.

    2. A man who keeps a revolver at home, if he is not part of police, then he is a thug, immoral man. Ask in your home, if you have to keep a gun, would they like it.

    3. There are systems to resolve issues in a civilized democratic land, shruti surely isn't a nut, Rajesh is a trigger happy moron.

    According to you,Rajesh always consider his wife as his property. I want to tell you something about this case.
    If shruti did not develop any good relations with her husband within 13 years of marriage,it was not only Rajesh's faults but also her faults.If she was not happy with her husband,she could simply go for taking divorce and enjoy with her boyfriend openly forever.After all,she was an economically independent woman.But she didn't.Being in marriage relationship with her husband considering marriage as a just social needs,she started enjoying with her boyfriend and maintained it despite of repeated warning from her husband and father in law. Why was she in this marriage? Was she not playing with her husband's emotion,trust?Now you can better understand who was considering spouse as a property in this case.
    Remember that Rajesh could never break vows taken during marriage .he was always a loyal and trustworthy husband.He gave freedom to her wife but betrayed in return.How a woman can spoil her husband's life in order to fulfill her desire,this case is a real example.

    If a man will find out from outside people that his wife whom he always love and trust is having an illicit relationship,how much he will be hurted and fustrated we can't say.Rajesh must be totally consumed with sorrow,anger and pain.That is why he committed this crime.I am not justifying his crime. But it was due to a woman's illicit affair,two family lost their happiness for ever. Remember about k.m.nanavati-sylvia-prem ahuja case,theme of rustom movie.

    Before hanging herself she never thought of her two daughter. Love relation with boyfriend was all over affaction and love for her daughters as a mother.She never became a good mother as well as good wife.

    Peter,

    How could you put the total blame on Shruti ? Did she get involved with an animal ? There is also another human being involved. who also is equally responsible because he too is a married man ! Shruti is a mother of two girls as well as a working woman. In a marriage both must work to fill the voids, not one struggling to no end. One member going shopping for that 'missing' thing, means the other person doesn't care to provide it. I have no idea whether its emotional support or physical. It applies to both couples - Sumith and his wife and Rajesh & Shruti.

    We the readers are a third party, who know nothing about their problems, hence instead of blowing the matters out of proportion, lets await the results of investigation.

    Peter D'souza,

    First.... let me destroy your first three points....... morality is subjective. there.... bang... I did it.

    Your fourth point is invalid. You are basically saying that is people want to have an affair they travel to different countries. Why go to different countries when you can do it here. next, you possibly won't know how was their married life. so how can you comment about the husband and wife.

    Fifth point is again invalid. You don't know what would be going through in their life. Next... i go by logic, that if a man who really loves his wife, would never hurt his her. Despite her transgressions. Man who considers a woman as her property would do it.

    Sixth, here I would like to point out Maslow's hierarchy of needs. If you dont know about it... please read about it.

    Peter let me correct you here.

    You mentioned, Rajesh provided all the basic needs, but same why didn't you mention his wife too provided the basic needs for his family as she too was working for a big firm.

    Why does men always think that if men are working, that means he is really working hard. But same time if women are working, they do not take that as serious, they just think she is working to kill her boredom.

    ''because infdelity, mistrust and unfaithfulness can make man morally and physical dead. ''

    I dont think so. What you said is exactly what is fed to our minds. So whenever we are faced with such incidents..... we tend to justify in our mind that we have to retaliate.

    Think these outcomes ,

    Case 1: Wife is having an affair - what may be the reason? maybe she is not happy with me.. that`s alright i will get a divorce.

    Case 2: Wife is having an affair - How come she cheated on me? My trust is broken. the society says that i have to retaliate whenever trust is broken. Thats it i am going to kill my wife and her lover.

    I agree here that whatever extreme stage things go we still have to have control over our actions. Yes the wife betrayed the husband. No one can support her actions. When there is unsuspecting husband who gives her all the love and the freedom to deal with her day today life, staying loyal and loving is her call. And if she's no more attracted to him, instead of cheating talk things straight. So she was totally wrong. But that doesn't mean husband has to take her life. Nobody has the right to kill others or to kill themselves. I feel sad for him too. He should have dumped her.

    I agree with Zeitgiest. People react on what was fed to people's mind. Society should accept a divorced man more than a murderer. Emperor Timor found out his wife was in love with an Architect and behead her -says in the history. That is what fed to our mind when we were kids. Critical thinking should be taught to children at the young age.

    One thing was sure about Shruti was that she knew what she was doing. She drove-off with injured Amith to a Hospital, she did not flee the scene irresponsibly. Secondly, she informed her parents about her location before committing suicide.
    Her parents should know (she may have told) something about the father-son duo. Needs thorough investigation.

    No, extra marital affairs is not a solution for discord, nor killing one of the lovers. He should have shot both - why did he spare her ?

    Trust dies but mistrust blossoms.
    When mistrust comes in Love goes out.
    Shruthi could not have erased her past and would not have
    lived peacefully, worring about her future.
    There are so many crooks (opportunists) who take advantage and enter into some ones married and Amith met his fate.

    The basic truth is if a person gets love/attention to his/her expectations then he/she wouldn't seek love or attention outside. So give enough time to your spouse, children.... If you want to enjoy life, enjoy with them. Show your love and care to them, then you wouldn't get to see such a day!!

    There are so many wives who look after their husbands even though they are not getting anything in return. Marriage is a sacred bond and if you are not happy then one has the option of coming out of wedlock through legal process. Being with husband and enjoying with boyfriend is not allowed in society. Because of her stupid behavior 2 families lost their peace forever.
