Bengaluru, June 29: A young woman was brutally murdered by her ex-boyfriend in the Mahalakshmi Layout area of Bengaluru. The police reported that the suspect was apprehended just hours after the incident on Monday.
The victim has been identified as Anjali, while the accused is named Rajiv. Both individuals were residents of K.P. Agrahara in Bengaluru.
According to police, Rajiv and Anjali had been in a relationship for several years after meeting at their workplace, a fact known to their families.

The Mahalakshmi Layout police acted swiftly, locating and arresting Rajiv shortly after the murder. They have registered a case and initiated an investigation. Preliminary findings reveal that Anjali had rejected Rajiv’s marriage proposal, which led to the tragic incident.
