Two days after a woman from Bihar was found murdered with her throat slit in a paying guest accommodation at Koramangala here on July 23, CCTV footage of the said incident emerged on Friday purportedly showing gruesome details of the crime.
According to police, the assailant sneaked and killed 24-year-old Kriti Kumari on July 23 night.
Police sources said the victim was staying with another woman. A few days ago, Kriti Kumari’s roommate had moved out of the paying guest accommodation. It is suspected that she had gone to stay with her boyfriend.
On July 23, the woman returned to the PG to stay with Kriti Kumari. Sources suspect that the assailant had doubts that Kriti Kumari could be instrumental behind the change of her roommate’s mind.
The footage shared by the police shows that the man walked into the corridor of the paying guest holding a polythene bag.
He then knocked on the door and dragged the woman out. The victim resisted the attack but was soon overpowered by the murderer, who slit her throat and ran away.
Hearing the loud noise, other women among the paying guests came running, but they could not save her.
“Kriti Kumari hailed from Bihar. She was working in a private company in the city. The incident might have happened on July 23 at about 11 pm,” a police officer said.
Accused arrested in Bhopal
The accused, Abhishek was arrested in Bhopal where he fled after committing the gruesome murder of Kriti Kumari.
“Yes, he has been arrested,” a senior police officer told PTI on Saturday.
Addressing reporters, Bengaluru Police Commissioner B Dayananda said the accused has been identified and picked up from Madhya Pradesh. He is being brought to Bengaluru on a transit remand.
To a query about the motive behind the murder, he said, “We don’t know it yet. He has to be brought here and then we have to take his police custody and thorough investigation and interrogation has to be conducted… only then further details can shared.” On Friday, the video of the chilling incident went viral.
