Police review CCTV, probe domestic dispute
Police say there were no signs of forced entry, suggesting only the family was inside at the time.
The case came to light when relatives checked on the family after not hearing from them all day.
Police Commissioner N Shashikumar mentioned Dr. Priyanka appeared to be in shock and gave inconsistent statements; officers are looking into a possible domestic dispute as the motive and reviewing CCTV footage as part of their investigation.
