Bengaluru man arrested for allegedly strangling girlfriend with wire over marriage dispute
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.
