Bengaluru– A horrifying incident at a hostel in a posh Bengaluru neighborhood has sent shockwaves across India. A 24-year-old woman, Kriti Kumari, was brutally murdered by Abhishek, the boyfriend of her roommate, who has since been arrested by police.

Tensions had been escalating between Abhishek and Kriti’s roommate over his unemployment, with frequent arguments that sometimes involved Kriti. She reportedly suggested that her roommate distance herself from him, further straining their relationship.

The situation worsened when Abhishek, enraged by their avoidance, created a disturbance at the hostel. Kriti had helped her friend move to a new location and both had stopped communicating with him. This fueled Abhishek’s anger and led him to commit the heinous act.
