Bengaluru: A murder case has been registered against the old age home employees based on a complaint filed by a 59-year-old man.

The deceased Kamalamma, a resident of Banashankari, was suffering from memory loss and had been admitted to the home at Nagarabhavi a few months ago.

Kamalamma’s son, Ramachandra GK is now alleging that his 82-year-old mother was murdered at an old age home on August 7

Ramachandra said his mother was admitted to the home on March 9 and he was paying Rs 10,000 every month to the home’s foundation. But Kamalamma was shifted to its Yeshwantpur branch 20 days ago without his knowledge.

Ramachandra in his complaint alleged, “The owner of the foundation called me around 5pm on August 8 and said my mother was critical. They told me my mother was in the ambulance and I found she had sustained head injuries. The staff told me a woman inmate of the home had murdered my mother. But the woman’s physical condition is such that she couldn’t have killed my mother. I suspect the staff murdered my mother.”
