Youth in Bengaluru allegedly kills girlfriend for rejecting his marriage proposal
Bengaluru: Police have arrested a youngster in the city for allegedly stabbing his girlfriend to death on Tuesday for rejecting his marriage proposal, as her family would not let an intercaste marriage.
The incident took place on Wind Tunnel Road within the jurisdiction of the Jeevan Bima Nagar Police Station.
The arrested youngster Dinakar Bawala, who worked in a laboratory near Domlur, and the victim Leela Pavithra are both learned to be natives of Andhra Pradesh.
Police sources said that the youngsters had been dating for the last five years and decided to get married. Leela’s family, however, objected to the relationship due to difference in caste. Leela’s parents also restricted her from speaking to Dinakar.
An upset Dinakar stopped Leela when she was exiting her office on Tuesday under the pretext of speaking to her, but stabbed her repeatedly and at multiple points, including the stomach, chest and neck.
Leela died on the spot due to very heavy blood loss, the police added.
A case has been filed at the Jeevan Bima Nagar Police Station and investigation is on.

Badlapur accused Akshay Shinde shot dead: Lawyer of minor girls calls it 'killing of justice'
Mumbai (PTI): The gunning down of Badlapur case accused Akshay Shinde on Monday was the "killing of justice", said Asim Sarode, lawyer for the two minor girls he allegedly sexually assaulted.
Shinde was killed near Mumbra Bypass around 6:15pm when he allegedly snatched the gun of a policeman while he was being ferried in a police vehicle as part of a probe into a case registered on the complaint of his former wife.
After he shot and injured an API, another personnel from the escort team fired at him, and he was declared dead by doctors at a nearby hospital.
"While representing the two minor girls, I noticed it was becoming uncomfortable for the local politics of the Thane district and even for the educational institution where Akshay Shinde was working. Shinde's death in such a manner is killing of justice," Sarode told a regional news channel.
"Now, the case of sexual assault of the two minor girls will get sidelined. The case of these two minor girls was becoming difficult for the educational institute, as it is affiliated with a certain political family. Such a practice would lower the confidence of people in police and the judiciary," he claimed.
Sarode said he will be filing a plea before the Bombay High Court demanding thorough inquiry into the firing incident.
"Shinde's case could have brought up certain aspects that would have been negative politically for the government. I wonder how Shinde could access the gun and how he could unlock it when his hands were tied. This is political murder and is absolutely wrong," he said.
