Bengaluru: Bengaluru Police Commissioner B. Dayananda stated on Monday that they have identified the prime suspect in the murder of a 29-year-old woman, Mahalakshmi, whose dismembered body was found stored in a refrigerator at her rented house in Vinayaka Nagar, Vyalikaval.

While details remain undisclosed, the suspect is said to be an outsider, not from Karnataka, and efforts are underway to arrest him. Karnataka Home Minister G. Parameshwara confirmed that police are close to arresting the individual responsible and are investigating whether more than one person was involved in the crime.

Mahalakshmi, who worked as a team leader at a costume outlet in Malleshwaram, had separated from her husband, Hemant Das, nine months ago due to domestic disputes. The police had previously received complaints from both Mahalakshmi and Das in February, following allegations of assault and an affair.

The investigation continues under s. 103 (1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
