Bengaluru: The police probing the kidnap and murder of a youth who happens to be a relative of former Karnataka Chief Minister late N Dharam Singh, have arrested his stepmother for allegedly plotting the murder.
The arrested have been identified as Chowanhan Singh (45), a resident of Hebbal.
Siddharth Devendra Singh (28), who had gone missing since January 19 after texting his father that he was leaving for the US, was found dead on January 29. The assailants had smothered him to death and had buried his body in a forest patch near Rapur of Nellore district in Andhra Pradesh.
The police conducted investigations and based on the phone calls logs from his phone, the cops identified a few suspects. One Vinod and Shyam were identified as the main suspects in the murder of Siddharth.
In another twist to the case Shyam, who was identified as the A1 accused in the Siddharth murder case, committed suicide before the police arrived. Shyam committed suicide out of fear that he and Vinod would be caught in the case and is reported to have hung himself in Korlagunta at Tirupati.
Vinod, on the other hand, also tried to commit suicide but was injured and arrested by the police.
