Overview
- Police located the skeletal remains of a 52-year-old woman identified as Dakshayini inside her duplex in Bagalagunte’s Havanur Layout, and investigators say she likely died about a year earlier.
- Bagalagunte police have inspected the property and opened a formal inquiry to determine the cause and timeline of death, and no foul play has been confirmed so far.
- Reports say Dakshayini had been living alone after the earlier deaths of her husband and son and that her daughter and son-in-law had not visited the house for about a year.
- Multiple outlets report the remains were discovered after a law-enforcement welfare check that required forced entry, though details of how the check was triggered are not fully verified.
- The case has drawn attention to risks faced by socially isolated people and could prompt calls for clearer welfare checks, routine neighbour or family visits, and the release of forensic findings from the ongoing probe.
