Bengaluru: The CCB police arrested a car mechanic on charges of kidnapping and murdering his 25-year-old ex-girlfriend, who was allegedly pestering him to get a house for her.

The deceased is Sunita and the accused is David Kumar (28), a resident of Padarayanapura

As per the sources, Sunita had gone missing on May 12 after she left home with her seven-month-old baby, saying that her husband’s relative had passed away and had to go to Tamil Nadu to attend the funeral. As Sunitha did not return for a few days her mother filed a missing person complaint with the KG Halli police.

The CCB police, who got a clue about the case, picked up David for questioning and he confessed to committing the crime.

Speaking on the issue a police officer said “Sunita and David were in a live-in relationship for almost five years. However, they both married different people two to three years ago but remained in contact. Around seven months ago, Sunita gave birth to a baby boy. She allegedly told David that it was his child, so he should set up a house for the two to stay there. Though he told her it was not possible, she allegedly kept pestering him. Later David hatched a plot to kill her and asked her to come near Silk Board Junction on the pretext of discussing something with her. When she went there at 4 pm along with the baby, David took her in his friend’s car to Sakleshpur. While she was asleep in the car around midnight, he strangled her using a rope.”

However, David went to Sunita’s mother and handed over the baby saying Sunita had gone with her husband.
