Bengaluru Police Seek AI Chat Logs in Investigation of Triple Murder CasePreviousNext

Bengaluru police arrested Kenneth and Shwetha for allegedly murdering Shwetha's parents and sister over financial disputes linked to a failed cloud kitchen business. Investigations revealed Kenneth used an AI chatbot extensively over six months to plan the murders, seeking advice on killing methods, body disposal, and removing evidence. Police have requested the AI company's chat logs to corroborate digital evidence. The couple fled to Puducherry before their arrest, with Kenneth primarily responsible for the planning and execution.
