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.

Cheating made bigger than it actually is: Gukesh
Prague (PTI): World Champion D Gukesh has categorically stated that the problems around cheating in chess are made to be bigger than its existence.
Speaking during a press conference for the Prague International festival, Gukesh said he did not support Vladimir Kramnik, a former world champion who has been infamously levelling charges against quite a few chess players suspecting cheating during online games.
“Obviously, I’m against any kind of unfair or unethical play," “It’s a kind of problem that we have been seeing lately," Gukesh said.
The whole world had stood out for Grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky of America who died at a young age of just 29 years. Naroditsky was a famous content creator in chess who appeared to be very emotional in his last stream just days before his untimely death.
Gukesh is not the only one to join the bandwagon as earlier World number one Magnus Carlsen, FIDE president Arkady Dvorkovich and Indian stars Arjun Erigaisi and Nihal Sarin had also criticised Kramnik as his allegations could not be substantiated with any definite proof.
Speaking about the forthcoming Candidates tournament, Gukesh said he did not believe in favourites and that he would love to play fellow city-mate R Praggnanandhaa.
Meanwhile in the first round of the super tournament, Gukesh will face Hans Moke Niemann of United States, another player who has fought his way to top level chess. Niemann is a dangerous customer and Gukesh likes to go for complex play which insures a fighting beginning for the World Champion.
The other Indian in the fray, Aravindh Chithambaram will take on Nodirbek Abdusattorov of Uzbekistan, a recent winner of the Tata Steel Masters.
