He thought his wife was cheating on him. Then he checked into a five-star hotel and killed his two daughters.
A horrific story unfolded in Bengaluru Monday afternoon after the staff of a five-star hotel near Kempegowda International Airport came upon a grisly scene in one of the rooms.
The bodies of a 10-year-old girl and her five-year-old sister. Also in the room was their father, 35-year-old SG Imran, who worked as a manager for a taxi company.
He was found alive, though unconscious, on the floor. Unconfirmed reports said he had injuries to his throat.
Hotel staff admitted him to a nearby hospital. His medical condition is stable.
Bengaluru murder: What happened?
The police were alerted by hotel security after the bodies were discovered.
While the sequence of events is still unclear, the hotel has confirmed Imran and his children checked in at 7 pm on Sunday. They were to check out by noon on Monday.

The police were called and they found what appeared to be a suicide note written by Imran, in which he accused his wife of infidelity. Police said the note suggests Imran killed his daughter and then tried to die by suicide, though that link has not been established yet.
The police are examining CCTV footage from the hotel corridors as part of the investigation, which will include post-mortem reports from the bodies of the two children.
