A shocking double-murder case has emerged from Bengaluru, where a man allegedly killed his two minor daughters inside a luxury hotel near Kempegowda International Airport before attempting to take his own life. Police are investigating whether a bitter marital dispute and his suspicion of his wife’s alleged affair played a role in the tragedy.
According to police, the accused has been identified as S.G. Imran, a Bengaluru resident. The two victims were identified as Shaik Zehara, 5, and Shaik Zoya, 10. The family was reportedly from Nagawara in north Bengaluru.
Investigators said Imran checked into a five-star hotel near Bengaluru airport with his daughters. The circumstances surrounding the hotel booking are now a key part of the investigation, as police are trying to establish what happened between the family’s arrival and the discovery of the children.
The incident reportedly came to light after hotel staff became concerned when there was no response from the room. Security personnel eventually entered and found the two girls dead, while Imran was seriously injured.
Two Children Found Dead Inside Hotel Room
Police said the preliminary investigation indicates that the girls were allegedly strangled. Imran was subsequently found with injuries to his neck, apparently after attempting to take his own life with a knife. Hotel staff immediately arranged for him to be taken to a nearby hospital.
The children’s bodies were sent for post-mortem examination as investigators began collecting forensic evidence from the hotel room.
Police officials are examining the room, digital evidence and other material to reconstruct the sequence of events. The accused’s condition has reportedly stabilised, allowing investigators to pursue further questioning once medically appropriate.
Note Recovered From Hotel Room
A note recovered from the room has become a crucial piece of evidence in the case. Police said the note referred to a marital dispute and contained allegations that Imran suspected his wife of having an extramarital relationship.
The note reportedly claimed that he possessed evidence concerning the alleged relationship. However, investigators have stressed that these allegations have not yet been independently verified.
Police are therefore treating the contents of the note as part of the investigation rather than as an established explanation for the killings. Officers are examining whether the marital dispute actually contributed to the crime and what circumstances may have preceded the incident.
Police Probe Possible Motive Behind Double Murder
The suspected marital conflict is currently one of the major angles being examined. Investigators are looking into the couple’s personal circumstances, recent communications and other available evidence to determine whether there was an escalation in the dispute.
Police are also trying to establish why Imran chose to take his daughters to the hotel and whether the killings were planned in advance or followed a sudden confrontation.
Officials have indicated that the precise motive has not yet been conclusively established. Investigators are expected to examine statements from family members, hotel employees and others who may have information about the family’s circumstances.
Hotel Staff Alerted Authorities
The role of hotel employees was significant in bringing the incident to police attention. After concerns arose over the occupants of the room, hotel security personnel intervened and discovered the disturbing scene.
The injured man was taken for medical treatment, while police secured the room and began their investigation. The incident has since drawn widespread attention because of the deaths of two young children inside a luxury hotel.
Investigation Continues
The Bengaluru double-murder case remains under investigation, with police working to establish a complete timeline from the family’s arrival at the hotel to the discovery of the bodies.
The note, forensic findings, post-mortem reports and digital evidence are expected to help investigators determine what happened and whether the suspected marital dispute was connected to the killings.
Authorities have also emphasised the need to verify every allegation before drawing conclusions about the motive. The case highlights the devastating consequences that can follow when intense family conflicts and suspicion escalate into violence.
As the investigation progresses, police are expected to examine all possible angles surrounding the deaths of Zehara and Zoya and the subsequent suicide attempt by their father.
