Police in Bengaluru investigate the killing of a 22-year-old woman from Sikkim whose throat was allegedly slit by her boyfriend following an argument at their rented home. Reports state that the woman, described as a salon or hotel receptionist, worked in Bengaluru after relocating from Sikkim. The accused, described as a man from Darjeeling and a hotel waiter, lived with her at a rented accommodation in the Doddakannahalli area. Sources say the couple had moved to Bengaluru about a month earlier and were reportedly in a relationship.
According to police accounts cited by multiple outlets, the incident takes place on Sunday morning after a heated dispute between the two. Investigators allege the man became suspicious about the woman’s alleged involvement with someone else or suspected infidelity during the argument. He is accused of attacking her with a kitchen knife, resulting in fatal injuries.
Police have registered the case and arrested the accused, with further investigation underway. Authorities have not disputed the broad timeline or the basic allegation across the reports: the killing occurs at the couple’s rented residence, and the motive cited is suspicion of an affair.
