Bengaluru (PTI): A 17-year-old girl, along with her male friends, allegedly killed her mother and staged the crime as a suicide at their home in Uttarahalli, police said on Friday.

The deceased, identified as Netravathi (35), worked as a helper at a loan recovery firm, they said.

The incident occurred on October 25. When the girl went missing from home soon after her mother’s death, Netravathi’s sister grew suspicious and filed a complaint at the Subramanyapura police station, following which a murder case was registered, police said.

During the investigation, police found that the minors had strangled Netravathi to death with a towel and then hanged her body from a ceiling fan using a saree to make it appear as a suicide before fleeing, a senior police officer said.
