The daughter of former Karnataka Director General of Police (DGP) Om Prakash, who was allegedly killed by his wife at their Bengaluru home, is in a "state of shock" and has been sent for a medical evaluation, officials said today. Kruthi Prakash was sent to the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS) last evening.

Kruthi does not seem to be in a proper mental state to be questioned, officials say.

The police will decide whether to question her based on the reports they get from the hospital, officials added.

Kruthi was reportedly present when her father was brutally murdered in their house.

68-year-old Om Prakash was found dead in a pool of blood with multiple stab wounds to his stomach and chest on Sunday at his home Bengaluru's HSR Layout. He had been stabbed repeatedly after chilli powder was thrown into his eyes.

When the police arrived, Kruthi, Prakash's wife, Pallavi, and another family member were present in the house, sources said.

Pallavi Prakash was questioned for 12 hours and arrested a day later. She was remanded in judicial custody for 14 days after their son, Karthikesh, filed a complaint.
