The skeletal remains of a 57-year-old woman were found in her Bengaluru home on August 7, with police suspecting she died about a year ago. The woman, identified as Dakshayini, lived alone after her husband died in 2017 and her son in 2005. Neighbours alerted police after finding her house open. Her brother told investigators she had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and had not been in contact for two years. The remains were sent for forensic analysis. Police have registered a case of unnatural death.
