According to sources, the incident took place near Spicer College on Aundh Road at approximately 9 pm. The couple, who own a crockery business in Bengaluru, had arrived at the complainant's father-in-law's house with their family for a vacation.

Faced with this alarming turn of events, the couple approached the Chaturshrungi police and filed a complaint.
