Bengaluru Shocker: Man Slits Woman Throat, Kills Her Inside PG

Bengaluru: A 22-year-old woman was found dead with a slit throat inside her paying guest accommodation in Koramangala, Bengaluru on Tuesday. The deceased, identified as Kriti Kumari from Bihar, was working at a private firm and lived in the VR Layout area of Koramangala.

The police reported that the assailant, wielding a knife, forced his way into the accommodation between 11:10 and 11:30 pm. He attacked Kriti near her third-floor room, leading to her death. 

The motive behind the murder is yet to be known. The Koramangala police, along with South East Division DCP Sara Fatima have launched an investigation into the killing. Besides, authorities are scanning CCTV footage in the area to identify the attacker.

“The accused broke into the accommodation where the victim was staying and slit her throat, resulting in her immediate death. We are investigating the motive behind the murder. The suspect has been identified, and efforts are underway to locate him”, said Sara Fatima. 

The latest incident follows a recent stabbing at Sindhi College in Kempapura, where a security guard was killed by Bhargav, a final-year BA student. Bhargav, reportedly intoxicated, was initially denied entry to the college by the guard. Furious, Bhargav left but soon returned with a knife, attacking and fatally stabbing the guard.

Earlier this year, the murder of Karnataka college student Neha Hiremath by her former classmate Fayaz Khondunaik ignited political debate, with the BJP labeling it as "love jihad," a claim rejected by the Congress.

In another disturbing case, weeks after Hiremath's murder, a 21-year-old woman, Anjali Ambigera, was stabbed to death at her home in the Veerapur Oni area by an acquaintance, Vishwa alias Girish Sawant. Girish, 23, arrived at Anjali’s residence around 5:45 am, and when she answered the door, he fatally attacked her with a knife before fleeing the scene.
