Man Wanted in US Murder of Ex-Girlfriend Arrested in Agra, IndiaPreviousNext

A man wanted in the alleged murder of his ex-girlfriend, 27-year-old Nikitha Godishala, in Maryland, US, was arrested in Agra, India, following non-bailable warrants issued by a Delhi court. The victim's body was found in the suspect's US apartment after she was reported missing on New Year's Eve. Indian authorities acted on a cheating case filed by the victim's father, leading to the suspect's arrest and custody. Extradition proceedings are underway as US authorities seek his return.
