The police said after seeing the footage, they will need to probe the case from another angle. They suspect a love angle behind the crime and will probe whether the man waiting on the bike abetted the crime. Efforts are on to identify him and nab the duo.
“Amruta’s brother Harish Chandrashekar (31) is still recovering from stab injuries, and we are waiting to question him,” an officer said.
Initially, Harish gave a statement saying that her sister Amruta had killed their mother with a knife and stabbed him on Sunday. She told him that she had borrowed Rs 15 lakh from someone and the lenders were after her to get back the money.
Amruta (33), a techie working with a private firm, murdered her mother and stabbed her brother while they were asleep at their house in Ramamurthy Nagar near KR Puram. Nirmala (54), died on the spot and her son C Harish Chandrashekar (31) escaped with stab
injuries.
