A 27-year-old Indian woman, Nikitha Godishala, was found dead with stab wounds in her ex-boyfriend Arjun Sharma's Maryland apartment. Sharma reported her missing on January 2, claiming he last saw her on New Year's Eve, but then fled to India the same day. Police obtained an arrest warrant for Sharma on first and second-degree murder charges. The Indian Embassy is providing consular assistance to Godishala's family. Sharma was later arrested in Tamil Nadu following an international manhunt. The motive remains unknown, though family members have suggested financial disputes.
