A shocking incident took place in Bengaluru where a 40-year-old man, named Imran, reportedly killed his two girls, Shaikh Zoya (10) and Shaikh Zehara (5), in a five-star hotel before trying to end his life.
The crime took place at a Taj hotel in Bengaluru near the Kempegowda International Airport on Monday. According to reports, Imran and his daughters booked a room in the hotel at around 4.30 p.m. on Sunday. The room rate was about ₹26,000 per day.

The case came to light when hotel staff heard the screams coming out of the room and also heard Imran’s screams. The security guards entered the room and saw the two girls lying dead on the bed. Imran was seen in the bathroom with his throat cut. Hotel staff immediately alerted the authorities and arranged for Imran to be taken to a hospital. Police said he is currently out of danger and remains under treatment.
