Bengaluru: In a tragic incident, a 28-year-old woman, B Navyashree, was found dead with her throat slit in her Bengaluru home. Her close friend, Aishwarya, who was staying with her for the night, discovered the horrifying scene around 6 a.m. on August 28, 2024. Navyashree, a dance instructor and host, had confided in Aishwarya about her troubled marriage and expressed fears for her life just hours before her death.

Navyashree’s husband, Kiran, a cab driver, has been arrested on charges of murder. Police say Kiran entered their home in Kengeri Upanagara’s SMV Layout around 5:30 a.m. using a spare key and killed Navyashree while both women were asleep. Signs of torture were reportedly found on Navyashree’s body before the fatal attack.

Marital Struggles and Fear for Safety

According to reports, Navyashree and Kiran had been married for three years despite opposition from their families. However, over the past year, their relationship had deteriorated, with Kiran allegedly unhappy about Navyashree’s social profession and suspecting her of infidelity.
