Sad news from Bengaluru 10 October 2025: In Bhuvaneshwari Nagar, a woman named Vijayalakshmi (35) kills her children Bhuvan (1) and Brinda (4) due to dispute over marriage. Police are looking into it; more people are calling for mental health help.
In a heartbreaking tragedy that has left the entire town in shock, a 35-year-old Bengaluru mother is accused of killing her two small children on Thursday night before taking her own life. Within the boundaries of the Bagalagunte police station, the tragedy occurred in Bhuvaneshwari Nagar. It shook the peaceful residential neighborhood and sparked discussions on the unseen stresses of family life.
Vijayalakshmi, her four-year-old daughter Brinda, and her one-year-old son Bhuvan have been named as the victims. Initial police reports indicate that Vijayalakshmi's sadness over her husband's alleged second marriage, in particular, appears to be the root cause of the tragedy. Despite she was known by her neighbors as a loving mother who kept to herself, rumors of family issues had been going about for months.
Vijayalakshmi, her four-year-old daughter Brinda, and her one-year-old son Bhuvan have been named as the victims. Initial police reports indicate that Vijayalakshmi's sadness over her husband's alleged second marriage, in particular, appears to be the root cause of the tragedy. Despite she was known by her neighbors as a loving mother who kept to herself, rumors of family issues had been going about for months.
At approximately 10 p.m. on October 9, 2025, it all came to a tragic conclusion. Before hanging herself from a ceiling fan, authorities claim that Vijayalakshmi suffocated her children in their house. A neighbor who had peeked through a window and saw the horrifying spectacle was alarmed by the strange silence from the normally active household and raised the alarm. "We heard no cries, no arguments – just an eerie quiet," a homeowner revealed to local reporters, their voice shaking in shock.
Police quickly came, surrounded the area, and began investigating. The initial findings from a post-mortem investigation at a local government hospital indicated that the mother died by hanging, and the children died by asphyxiation. According to reports, the husband was away at the time and is currently being questioned; his name has not yet been made public for family notification. According to people close to the family, Vijayalakshmi may have reached this point as a result of ongoing arguments, which include accusations of cheating and abandon.
This is not only another number; rather, it serves as a sobering reminder of the unspeakable loss that can result from untreated mental pain. As a journalist who has covered far too many of these events, I find myself wondering what warning flags were overlooked. Did she have no one to turn to? Experts in mental health are already voicing their opinions, calling on society to give support networks for people in toxic relationships first priority. "Marital discord, especially involving betrayal, can trigger severe depression," a psychotherapist from Bengaluru said. "We need more accessible counseling services to prevent such tragedies."
However the investigation is still ongoing, the Bagalagunte police have filed a case for murder and suicide support under the applicable sections of the Indian Penal Code. Local non-governmental organizations have stepped up to provide grief support to impacted neighbors, and community leaders are encouraging awareness campaigns.
