Maya Gogoi, a vlogger from Assam, was reportedly killed by her boyfriend, Aarav Hanoy, in a serviced apartment earlier this week.

In a chilling twist, it was revealed that Aarav spent two days with Maya's body, often sitting in front of it while smoking cigarettes.

Police launched a manhunt for Hanoy, forming two teams to track him down. After leaving the serviced apartment, Hanoy took a taxi to Bengaluru's Majestic area, where he switched off his phone.

Maya Gogoi had been living with her sister in Bengaluru's HSR Layout.

On Friday, she informed her sister that she would not return home as she was attending an office party. She sent another message on Saturday stating the same, saying she would not be home due to a night of partying.

Her sister later told the police that Maya and Aarav had been in a relationship for six months after meeting on social media.
