<p>Dharam Singh Yadav, in his early forties, allegedly threw chilli powder into the eyes of two constables Nanjundegowda and R Lingaraju of the City Armed Reserve, caused injuries to them in their hands and legs with a knife, pushed them down and ran away. The incident took place around 11.30 am. <br /><br />The constables claimed that they had taken him to the hospital after he complained of uneasiness and kidney-related problems and sought dialysis. They said they were not aware Yadav was carrying a knife and chilli powder in a paper packet and had no clue how he managed to get them. <br /><br />“The constables’ version is not convincing. In many such incidents in the past, the CAR constables took bribe and ensured that the undertrials fled. It is impossible for a man with handcuffs to attack them, throw chilli powder in their eyes and then run away. <br /><br />“Moreover, the constables claimed they took him to the hospital for dialysis. How can a man requiring dialysis run away? All this suggests the constables are also a part of the drama,” said an official of the Victoria Hospital police station.<br /><br />Background<br /><br />Yadav from Haryana served in the Indian Air Force for 20 years as sergeant. He had settled in Bangalore after taking voluntary retirement. <br /><br />He wanted to marry a teacher whom he came across on a matrimonial website. <br />He had told the teacher that he was unmarried. He hatched a conspiracy to kill his wife and children for the second marriage, the police said.<br /><br />Early on October 19, 2008, Yadav is alleged to have murdered his wife Anu (35), daughter Keerthi, (14) and son Aditya (11) at his house. <br /><br />He had misled the police claiming the murder took place when he was at the railway station to book tickets for Rewari in Haryana. <br /><br />Initially, police saw the case as a murder for gain as Anu’s jewellery was missing, but Yadav’s remorselessness led to his arrest.<br /></p>
