Bangalore: Infosys Manager Confesses to Killing Wife, held

BANGALORE, Aug 14 (TOI): Sathish Gupta killed his wife, DPS teacher Priyanka, in cold blood on Tuesday morning but it’s not yet clear why he did it. In the face of damning mobile phone evidence, he admitted to the crime on Friday, and by evening, Bangalore police arrested him.

Sathish craftily tried to leave clues that someone else had killed Priyanka. Once he realized he was nailed, he tried to implicate his childhood friend and jogging partner Kishan, saying they’d murdered the 29-year-old teacher.

Police always had a hunch that it was a murder for gain. All the evidence indicated it was an insider and the first suspect was always 32-year-old Sathish, an HR manager with Infosys.

Sathish had said when he was out jogging, he received a phone call from Priyanka who told him there were two strangers at the door asking about delivering newspapers. The call details indicated there was a 40-second call from Priyanka to Sathish and police decided to probe it. Kishan told the police that Sathish called him early in the morning and asked him to join him for jogging. After a while, Kishan called back to cancel the plan. But, Sathish said he’d reach Kishan’s house in two minutes.

Within the next 5 minutes, Sathish came and picked him up and they went to a ground near RBI Layout. After parking the motorcycle, Sathish picked up the phone and said, ‘‘I have not asked anybody to come, just send them away.’’ Kishan also said he didn’t hear the phone ring.

When police checked Sathish’s call details, they found one call to Kishan and then a 40-second call from Priyanka’s mobile. The third call was from Kishan. The RBI Layout ground has a different mobile tower from the one near Sathish’s house. However, at the time of Priyanka’s call, both phones were in the same tower range, which proved he hadn’t reached the ground when the call from Priyanka’s mobile came and he hadn’t even left the house.

When the police confronted Sathish with these facts, he was stunned. First, he admitted to the murder and then suddenly changed his statement, saying he loved her very much.

    Sometimes todays wives harass there husbands and in laws so much that the guy only stands by looking helplessly
    coz of sec 498 used by educated wives some people loose there balance and commit such crimes coz there is no way out of the daily humiliation borne by there old parents . Dont make one sided judgements in favour of the victim , wives are also capable to drive a guy to suicide or murder .

    Most of white collar working people are most dangerous, some are murdering their own colleagues emotionally and others sit within 4 walls and hire conman to ute their jobs. Outside they give one type of professional, noble gestures and inside it is alltogether different.
    Here Satnosh has not only brutally murdered his wife but also left behind scary feeling for the parents of girls.
    MY advise to married girls, be observative about your husband behaviour. Time has gone where one has to live with their husbands rest of their by swallowing all the filth and garbage. The moment one smell something foul happening in the house inform immediately neihbours and instatly police. Prevention is better than cure. So protecting yourself is also equally important.

    In this world there is a lot of crimes are coming up because of lavish life and due to poor. Each section (Rich & poor) have same quality of life. If rich person dies it become a big news in media. There are in thousand of poor people die due to murder or lack of health concern. Is anybody is concern about it ?.

    As in the above murder case I guess this is the not preplanned murder. As he was working as a manager wher he gets enough monthly remuneration why shoud have go to hell for his life. Sure his wife should have involved in matter which t could be beyond the public and due to this who is really loving his wife could not tolerate and could be done this king of activities.

    Readers do not look one side and there are lot of cases due to other side of involvement. What I would kie to say that there is no understanding between these couples.

    We are human. Every human can make mistakes. If mistakes happen do correct between yourself and do not bring on to street and be lovely couple till your end.

    I am also married person and I loved my family well and I do reconcile if any wrongs happnens within us. This is the way we live in this world. Do not think about Rich. Think about simple living person which gives you long life and carrier.

    When wife's murder takes place in the mystrious circumstances,husband will be the main suspect but however considerable per cent will be the real murderer!!Whatever the reasons, taking one's life is not at all justified in civilised society.Here reason cited by her husband was the harrassment meted to his mother by deceased.Any way an unfortunate and sad incident.

    Ashok, The published photos seem to be way back to the incident, probably during their happier times. How come you were able to draw conclusion looking at his face?
