Karnataka Home Minister G. Parameshwara on Monday (April 21, 2025) said a detailed investigation will bring out the truth behind former DGP of Karnataka Om Prakash’s murder, though it is said he was killed by his wife Pallavi.

The retired IPS officer was found dead in a pool of blood in his HSR Layout residence in Bengaluru on Sunday (April 20, 2025) afternoon.

“Former DGP Om Prakash has been murdered. It is said that his wife (Pallavi) has murdered him. Only a detailed investigation will bring out the truth,” Mr. Parameshwara told reporters Bengaluru.

The Minister said Prakash became the Director General of Police (DGP) when he was the Home Minister in 2015.

When asked about the reason behind the murder, Mr. Parameshwara said he has no clue because the investigation has started and the investigation officer has not shared any information yet.

He also expressed his unawareness of the reported discord between the couple and Ms. Pallavi suffering from schizophrenia.
