Patna live-in horror: 22-year-old Sophia Parveen thrown off balcony by partner Amit Kumar
Patna: A 22-year-old woman, Sophia Parveen, also known as Rukhsar, died after being allegedly pushed off the third-floor balcony of her apartment by her live-in partner, Amit Kumar, at Soho Nirmala Apartments in the Ashokpuri area of Patna.
CCTV footage that has since gone viral shows Rukhsar falling from the building and hitting the boundary wall of a nearby school before landing on the ground. Police said Amit then transported her body to the Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS) in an auto-rickshaw. Another CCTV clip from the hospital shows him placing her blood-soaked body on a stretcher and fleeing the scene.
Rukhsar’s family learned about her death only after a friend saw news reports online. They identified her body three days later at the hospital morgue.
Her sister, Shabana Khatoon, revealed that Amit had introduced himself as a police officer. “My sister was studying nursing and working at a private hospital in Patna. One day, she brought Amit home and said he was her friend. He told us he worked in the police, came in a Scorpio car, and stayed the night. We trusted him completely,” she said, describing Rukhsar as “the brightest and most cheerful” member of the family.
Investigations later found that Amit had been living with Rukhsar for over a month. The landlord told police that Amit rented the flat using a fake Aadhaar card and claimed they were married. Police have confirmed that the documents were forged.
A case of murder has been registered at the Danapur police station, and a manhunt has been launched for Amit Kumar. A lookout notice has also been issued for the auto driver who assisted him in taking Rukhsar’s body to the hospital.

Former minister C M Ibrahim announces to launch new regional party for Karnataka
Kalaburagi: Two years after being expelled from the Janata Dal (Secular), former minister C.M. Ibrahim has announced that he will launch a new regional political party in Karnataka on January 24, reported Deccan Herald.
Speaking at a meeting organised by the Nava Karnataka Nirmana Andolana in Kalaburagi on Sunday, Ibrahim confirmed the birth of the new party.
The 77-year-old politician stated he would soon be meeting with other like-minded individuals to choose a symbol for the party.

Ibrahim emphasised that the organisation would be guided by the principles of 12th-century social reformer Basavanna and the architect of the Indian Constitution, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.
A veteran politician, Ibrahim served as Union Civil Aviation Minister during the tenure of H.D. Deve Gowda as Prime Minister and later headed the Karnataka unit of the Janata Dal (Secular). He was expelled from the JD(S) in 2023 on charges of anti-party activities.
His exit from the party followed sharp differences over the JD(S) decision to ally with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). As the then state president of the JD(S), Ibrahim had publicly criticised the alliance, claiming it was finalised without his knowledge. He had also reportedly convened meetings of his supporters and expressed support for the INDIA bloc.
