Koramangala Murder: Bengaluru Cops Arrest Accused In MP

Three days after the murder, the Bengaluru cops arrested the suspect Abhishek on Friday evening, according to multiple reports.

The accused is being brought to Bengaluru from Madhya Pradesh and will be produced before a local court today.

Kriti Kumari, originally from Bihar, was living in a paying guest (PG) accommodation in Koramangala in Bengaluru. On Tuesday night, around 11 pm, a man armed with a knife entered the building and slit her throat before fleeing the spot.

Going by the reports, Abhishek is the boyfriend of Kriti Kumari's roommate. Kumari's interference in her roommate's relationship is the motive behind the murder.

The CCTV footage released on Friday has captured the incident.

Abhishek was seen arriving on the third floor of the building around 11:14 pm with a knife concealed in a plastic bag. He knocks Kumari's door. Once she opens the door, he attacks her.

In a matter of 18 seconds, he slits her throat three times, leaving her seriously injured.
