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.

Islamabad (PTI): US Vice President JD Vance said on Sunday that the Islamabad Talks with Iran failed as the two sides could not bridge the gulf of differences despite hectic efforts spreading more than 21 hours.
Vance addressed a press conference here after “substantive discussions” in direct talks between the two sides -- the first since 1979 at this level --mediated by Pakistan.
“We have been at it now for 21 hours, and we have had a number of substantive discussions, that’s the good news,” Vance said.
“The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement,” he added.
“We have made very clear what our red lines are, what things we are willing to accommodate them on and what things we are not,” the US vice president said, adding that the Iranian delegation had “chosen not to accept our terms”.
He was asked to elaborate the main sticking points of what did the Iranians reject but he refused to go into specifics.
“I won’t go into all the details because I don’t want to negotiate in public after we negotiated for 21 hours in private. But the simple fact is that we need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon and that they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon,” Vance said
He said stopping Iran from getting a "nuke" was the “core goal of the US president, and that’s what we have tried to achieve through these negotiations”.
Vance also praised Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir, terming them “incredible hosts”.
“Whatever shortcomings were in the negotiations were not because of Pakistanis, who did an amazing job and really tried to help us and the Iranians bridge the gap and get to a deal,” he said.
Separately, the spokesperson for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Esmaeil Baqaei, in an X message also confirmed that the two sides failed to make a deal and “numerous messages and texts have been exchanged between the two sides".
“In the past 24 hours, discussions were held on various dimensions of the main negotiation topics, including the Strait of Hormuz, the nuclear issue, war reparations, lifting of sanctions, and the complete end to the war against Iran and in the region,” he wrote.
“The success of this diplomatic process depends on the seriousness and good faith of the opposing side, refraining from excessive demands and unlawful requests, and the acceptance of Iran’s legitimate rights and interests.”
Baqaei also expressed appreciation to the “government and the warm-hearted and noble people of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan for hosting the negotiations and their benevolent efforts in advancing this process”.
