Man kills woman, dies by suicide in Bengaluru
Bengaluru, Aug 6 (PTI): A woman was murdered and the accused allegedly died by suicide shortly after the crime in Tirupalya near Hebbagodi on the outskirts of Bengaluru on Wednesday, police said.
The deceased woman has been identified as Mandira Mandal (27).
Police said she was attacked with a knife and her throat was slit. The accused, Suman Mandal (28), was found hanging in the same house later. Both hailed from West Bengal.
Preliminary investigation revealed that Suman was a friend of Mandira’s husband Bijoy Mandal.
Mandira and Bijoy had been married for eight years and had a six-year-old son. However, the couple had been living separately for the past two years. Mandira was residing in a rented house in Tirupalya.
According to police, on Sunday evening, Suman reportedly went to visit Mandira. An argument is said to have broken out, during which Suman allegedly killed her using a knife available in the house. He later died by suicide by hanging himself in the room.
Hebbagodi police visited the spot and have sent both bodies for post-mortem. A case has been registered and an investigation is underway.

Niqab incident: Nitish Kumar perhaps revealing his true colours, says J-K CM
Srinagar (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised his Bihar counterpart over the niqab incident and said that Nitish Kumar might be slowly revealing his true nature.
"Nitish Kumar, who was once considered a secular leader, may be slowly showing his true colours," Abdullah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
Abdullah said Kumar removing the face veil of a Muslim woman doctor was wrong and cannot be justified by any means.
"We have seen this kind of incident here several years ago. Have you forgotten how Mehbooba Mufti removed the burqa of a legitimate voter inside a polling station? That act was wrong, and this act (of Kumar) is also wrong.
"If the (Bihar) chief minister did not want to hand over the order to her (Muslim woman), they could have kept her aside. However, to humiliate her like this is totally wrong," the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.
Kumar stirred a huge controversy after he removed the face veil of a Muslim woman at a function earlier this week.
