In Nashik, Maharashtra, 20-year-old Vaishnavi Avare was stabbed to death by 26-year-old Sahil Ashok Lavare near a temple in the Indiranagar area late Friday night. Police suspect the attack stemmed from a troubled relationship, possibly involving a one-sided love or refusal to marry. Sahil reportedly called Vaishnavi's fiancé during the attack, informing him of the killing. Hours later, Sahil was found dead by suicide nearby. Authorities have registered a murder case and are investigating further.
