Bengaluru Woman Stabbed to Death by Boyfriend After Marriage Dispute; Separate Murder Investigation UnderwayPreviousNext

In Bengaluru, a 23-year-old woman named Anjali was allegedly stabbed to death by her boyfriend, Rajeev, after she refused his marriage proposal. The couple had a four-year relationship opposed by Anjali's family due to Rajeev's criminal background. The incident occurred on Pipeline Road in Mahalakshmi Layout following a dinner argument. Rajeev was arrested shortly after. Separately, police are investigating the death of a 30-year-old woman, suspected to be a murder involving her missing live-in partner.
