Woman Choked To Death At Home In Bengaluru

Police suspect her Husband…


On Tuesday night, a 25-year-old woman was choked to death, allegedly by her husband, at her home in Bengaluru.

Police said her husband Kiran has been taken into custody.

He is being questioned about the incident.

A police statement says the complaint in the matter was filed by Navyashree's friend Aishwarya who stayed near her place that night.

Aishwarya has told police that Navyashree called her Tuesday morning and said she was disturbed due to her marriage. She then asked her to come over.

Accordingly, Aishwarya reached Navyashree's home at Kengeri in SMV layout around 4.30 pm Tuesday.

Soon after, Anil, another friend of Navyashree, joined them and the three discussed her troubled marriage over dinner. Anil told Navyashree to file a complaint against her husband.

Later Navyashree and Aishwarya dropped Anil home. On returning to their place, they went to sleep around 11.30 am.

When Aishwarya woke up at 6 am the next morning, she found Navyashree had been strangled to death. She called the police and reported the incident.

Police suspect that Kiran was suspicious of Navyashree, and may have entered the house at night using his key and choked her to death.

He has been detained and police are questioning him to get deep in the matter.
