In Bengaluru, a US-returned techie was arrested on February 12, 2026, for allegedly murdering his parents.

The incident occurred Wednesday morning following heated arguments. Neighbors alerted by the commotion rushed the couple to the hospital, where they were declared dead.
Police report that Rohan, who returned from the US three years ago, was seeking capital for his independent projects.
