According to the investigating officers, Karunakaran and Padmavati lived in Tagore Nagar in Ayanavaram. Their four children live separately with their families. The elderly couple was under stress as there was no one to take care of them. The couple’s children rarely visited them. They used to argue with each other continuously.
When the incident took place, the neighbors heard a loud noise from the couple’s house. Hearing the cry of husband and wife, the neighbors rushed. At that time, both were found unconscious. There were burn wounds on his body. Both were kept in ICU. Karunakaran was 50 percent burnt, while Padmavati was 65 percent burnt.
The police went to the hospital and tried to get information from both. The police questioned Padmavati about the incident. ‘On Monday around 8 pm, my husband brought biryani from the hotel. He was eating biryani alone. I asked them whether they brought anything to eat for me. I demanded them to give me biryani too. This led to an argument between the two. They lit me with kerosene. I hugged them while I was burning,’ Padmavati told the police.
