BENGALURU: A 22-year-old woman was found dead and her boyfriend was found unconscious inside her rented house on Magadi Main Road in Bengaluru’s Byadarahalli area on Friday. The deceased, identified as S Bhavani, worked as a billing assistant at a mobile showroom nearby. Her father Srinivas approached the Byadarahalli police and alleged that his daughter was murdered. According to Srinivas’s complaint, Bhavani was in a relationship with Chandrashekhar alias Chandu. After learning about their relationship, the family had decided to get her married to another man of their choice. Srinivas said the family visited Bhavani once a week. On Friday morning, a relative shared a social media picture of Bhavani with Chandrashekhar, following which he tried calling his daughter multiple times. When she did not respond, the family alerted the house owner. The landlord reportedly found the door locked from inside and received no response. Police were informed and they broke open the door, where they found Bhavani and Chandrashekhar lying on the floor. While Bhavani was dead, Chandrashekhar was found unconscious and was rushed for treatment. In his complaint, Srinivas accused Chandrashekhar of killing his daughter and said Bhavani had earlier told him that the man was allegedly threatening her. Police have registered a case and launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
