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.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
