“Nair was mentally disturbed because of his differences with his wife. Being unemployed made him a frustrated man. He was obsessed for sometime with the idea of killing himself and his children,” the Bench, in a recent judgment, attempted to surmise why Nair took the drastic step.
Eyewitness Baby Joseph testified in court that he had heard a blast from Nair’s flat and seen a weeping Varun standing outside, smeared with blood. Vishnu was found dead on the bed. When confronted with his act, Nair had dismissed it as “family matter”.
Sridevi also testified that Nair had earlier prevented her from visiting her sister in Bangalore.
