Bengaluru: A 24-year-old woman was allegedly strangled to death by her lover following an argument over marriage in Kodathi area of Bengaluru, police said.
According to Asianet News, the deceased has been identified as Ranjitha (24), while the accused Ayyappa has been arrested by the Varthur Police in connection with the incident.
According to police, Both Ranjitha and Ayyappa hail from Ponnampet in Kodagu district. Ayyappa worked as a supervisor at a dry fruit shop near Varthur.
Police said Ayyappa was already married but had reportedly separated from his wife. Despite this, he began a relationship with Ranjitha, who was from a neighbouring village. The two eventually started living together in Bengaluru.
Investigators said Ranjitha had moved to Bengaluru hoping to marry Ayyappa. However, as he had not legally divorced his first wife, he allegedly continued to delay their marriage, leading to frequent arguments between them.
During one such altercation, Ayyappa allegedly strangled Ranjitha with a wire, resulting in her death.
The Varthur Police arrested the accused following the incident. Ranjitha’s body has been sent to a government hospital for a post-mortem examination, and a case has been registered. Further investigation is underway.

Dehradun (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a roadshow in Dehradun on Tuesday, with a large crowd lining both sides of the road to greet him.
The prime minister is in the city to inaugurate the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway.
Before the roadshow, he stopped to pray at the Siddhpeeth Maa Datkali Temple near Dehradun on the border of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
He then embarked on a 12-kilometre road trip to the main event venue, Jaswant Ground, in Dehradun.
A large number of people, including school children, gathered to welcome the prime minister and showered flowers on his convoy.
A massive police force was deployed for security during the prime minister's movement.
Modi will inaugurate the Delhi-Dehradun economic corridor, which will cut the travel time between the two cities to less than half. He will also undertake a review of the wildlife passage on the elevated section of the high-speed expressway in Saharanpur.
The 213-kilometre six-lane access-controlled corridor has been built at a cost of over Rs 12,000 crore.
The corridor traverses through the states of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, and will reduce travel time between Delhi and Dehradun from over six hours at present to around two and a half hours, according to an official statement.
