Bengaluru Man Arrested for Fatal Stabbing of Former Girlfriend After DinnerPreviousNext

In Bengaluru, a 23-year-old woman named Anjali was fatally stabbed by her former boyfriend, Rajiv (also spelled Rajeev), following a dinner meeting on Sunday evening. The couple had been in a relationship for three to four years, but Anjali's family opposed their marriage due to Rajiv's background. After an argument over their breakup and marriage prospects, Rajiv allegedly attacked Anjali, who later died in hospital. Police arrested Rajiv shortly after the incident, and a murder case is under investigation.
