Married woman stabbed to death by techie male friend in Bengaluru
Bengaluru, Jun 9 (PTI): A 33-year-old married woman was stabbed to death allegedly by her male friend for ending their illicit relationship, police said here on Monday.
The deceased, Harini R, a resident of Banashankari, was married and had two daughters aged 13 and 10, they said.
The accused, Yashas (25), a techie, met the woman at a village fair and had been in a relationship with her for the past one year, police said, adding that the murder happened on the intervening night of June 6 and 7 at a hotel room here.
According to the police, the woman was stabbed to death multiple times by the accused, who had allegedly pre-planned the murder and bought a knife with him. After the offence, he left her body inside the hotel room where they had checked in on June 6.
He later went to his home in the city and allegedly inflicted a stab wound on himself and confessed his crime to a constable posted at Kengeri police station.
Citing a preliminary investigation, a senior police officer said that after the woman's family discovered her affair with Yashas a few months ago, she was reportedly counselled by her family members to end her affair.
Following this, she stopped meeting Yashas and avoided taking his calls. Her family also believed that she ended the affair. However, when he kept persuading her to meet her, she agreed to meet him for one last time. As per their plan, he picked up her in his car around 5 pm on June 6 and together they went to a hotel in the city, the officer said.
After spending some time together in the hotel room, she told him that she could no longer continue her relationship with him due to pressure from her husband and family. He later stabbed her with a knife multiple times, the officer said.
"The accused has been arrested and a case of murder was registered at Subramanyapura police station. The woman wanted to end the friendship. Our of anger and jealousy, the man stabbed her to death," said Lokesh Jagalasar, Deputy Commissioner of Police (South).

Allahabad HC orders FIR against Rahul Gandhi in alleged dual citizenship case
Lucknow (PTI): The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court on Friday directed the registration of an FIR against Congress MP Rahul Gandhi in connection with an alleged dual citizenship controversy.
The court also observed that after the registration of the FIR, the state government may seek the assistance of a central agency to investigate the matter.
The order was passed by a bench of Justice Subhash Vidyarthi on a petition filed by S Vignesh Shishir, who had challenged a January 28, 2026 order of a special MP/MLA court rejecting his plea for an FIR against Gandhi, who is also the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha.
The special court had earlier held that it was not competent to adjudicate on issues related to citizenship.
The petitioner, a BJP worker from Karnataka, had sought registration of an FIR and a detailed probe into the matter, levelling allegations against Gandhi under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), the Official Secrets Act, the Foreigners Act and the Passport Act.
The complaint was initially filed before the special MP/MLA court in Rae Bareli. However, on the petitioner's request, the high court transferred the case to Lucknow on December 17, 2025.
The MP/MLA court in Lucknow subsequently dismissed the plea on January 28, 2026, prompting the petitioner to approach the high court, which has now ordered registration of an FIR.
