Bengaluru Man, Four-Year-Old Son Found Dead; Wife Suspected
A man and his little boy were found dead in their home in a city called Bengaluru in India.
The man's name was Abhinandan and he was 34 years old.
His son was only four years old.
The police think the deaths happened during the night.
The man's mother found them and called the police.
She said the little boy looked like he had been choked.
She thinks the man's wife, Harini, might have hurt them.
The mother says Harini may have been upset about something in her marriage.
The police have registered a case and are still investigating.
Nobody has been proven guilty yet.
A 34-year-old man, Abhinandan, and his four-year-old son were found dead at their home in Chikkabanavara, north Bengaluru, in the early hours of Monday.

The deaths are suspected to have occurred between 10 pm on August 16 and 6 am on August 17.
