Lucky escape for paying guest as she shifted out of flat in Kothrud for pest-control operation

Two middle-aged twin sisters were found dead in their residence at the plush Ideal Colony in Kothrud last morning, creating a flutter in the area. The Kothrud police said they did not suspect any foul play and claimed the women had died of suffocation after fumigating their house on Wednesday to get rid of bedbugs. The deceased were identified as 52-year-old Sandhya and Usha Nadkarni.

According to Chadrakant Kandhare, the watchman working in Saraswati Park, the incident came to light in the morning when some neighbours noticed that garbage was not being kept outside the twins' residence. When the neighbours called them, no one answered.
