In a heart-rending incident, a couple poisoned their only daughter and later committed suicide by hanging at their residence in Hebbal police limits on Friday afternoon.
Police suspect financial difficulties might have driven Hariprasad (32) and his wife Sridevi (26) to kill Karishma alias Krissh and end their lives.
According to the police, Hariprasad, a native of Nellore in Andhra Pradesh, had collected lakhs of rupees from those who had booked flats while supervising construction of a posh apartment taken up by his uncle, Ramachandrappa.
When Ramachandrappa learnt about it and he demanded money, unable to pay the amount, Hariprasad decided to take this step.
