Preliminary inquiries into the brutal murder of a 24-year-old woman in Bengaluru’s PG suggest a romantic angle involving the victim’s former roommate. The prime suspect, Abhishek has been arrested by the police and is believed to be the victim, Kriti Kumari’s former roommate’s boyfriend.
According to an NDTV report, the accused, Abhishek, and his girlfriend, the roommate Kriti, argued frequently about his unemployment. Sometimes, Kriti got involved in their fights which made things worse. After a while, Kriti allegedly suggested her roommate to distance herself from Abhishek.
The relationship soured, therefore, Kriti and her friends started avoiding Abhishek. Some time ago, Abhishek came to the PG and created a commotion following which Kriti helped her roommate shift to a new PG, and both stopped taking his calls. This is believed to have enraged the accused leading him to murder Kriti.
Abhishek was arrested from Madhya Pradesh’s Bhopal, where he allegedly fled after committing the gruesome crime.
Bengaluru Police Commissioner B Dayananda said the accused was being brought to Bengaluru on a transit remand. Responding to a question about the possible motive behind the gruesome murder, the official said, ” “We don’t know it yet. He has to be brought here and then we have to take his police custody and a thorough investigation and interrogation has to be conducted… only then further details can be shared.”
Days after the 24-year-old woman from Bihar was brutally killed inside her PG in Bengaluru, police managed to access the CCTV footage from the day of the heinous crime. As per the CCTV clip, the accused can be seen entering the PG, he then knocked on the door and slit her throat even as the victim screamed for help. The crime was committed between 11:10 pm and 11:30 pm. The footage also shows the accused escaping from the crime spot
