The couple had been staying in a rented house in Rajeshwarinagar, Laggere, for four months. Padmavathi\u2019s family alleged she was killed by Sumant, who later hanged himself.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>Sumant, a civil engineer working at a firm in Nandini Layout, married Padmavathi four years ago. They had no children. Padmavathi, also an engineer working in a tech company in Whitefield, was originally from Dharwad district.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>Based on preliminary investigation, police said Sumant sent a voice message to his mother through WhatsApp around 1.30am Thursday. He reportedly said he was having a quarrel with Padmavathi after she told him that, \u2018This house is mine\u2019.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>An upset Suman is said to have told his mother in the message that he was going to end his life and she should take his provident fund money and belongings kept in the house.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Deputy commissioner of police (north-west) Nagesh DL said Padmavathi\u2019s family members filed a complaint, accusing her husband of killing her and then dying by suicide. \u201cWe are yet to ascertain if she also committed suicide or it was a murder. She was found lying dead while her husband was found hanging,\u201d Nagesh said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Another senior officer said after hearing Sumant\u2019s voice message, his mother and family members tried to reach him on the phone.
