Special Correspondent

BANGALORE: Suspecting that the missing women from their families too could have been murdered by Mallika, arrested on the charge of murdering six women, three persons have approached the Kalasipalyam police seeking fresh investigation in the three cases. “The three women reported missing since 1999 were known to Mallika. After seeing Mallika’s photo on television channels and in newspapers, the members of these families have approached us,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) K.V. Sharathchandra told The Hindu here on Wednesday.

Of the three women, one is from Madivala and the other is from Malathalli in Jnana Bharathi police station limits. The families suspect that Mallika could have murdered the three women also, he said.

Mr. Sharatchandra said the State Crime Records Bureau (SCRB) has the photographs of the bodies in all the cases of unnatural death reported in the State.

“We will show these photographs to the families of the missing women,” he said.

Mallika had committed the six murders in temple towns in Bangalore Rural, Ramanagaram, Tumkur and Mandya districts.

Meanwhile, Commissioner of Police Neelam Achuta Rao said that they have decided to subject Mallika to narco analysis after obtaining necessary permission from the jurisdictional court.
