22-Year-Old Receptionist Allegedly Killed by Live-in Boyfriend Over Suspected Infidelity

A 22-year-old woman was allegedly murdered by her live-in boyfriend following a heated argument over suspected infidelity in Bengaluru's Bellandur police station limits on Sunday morning.

The deceased has been identified as Aati Hangma Suba (22), a native of Sikkim who was working as a receptionist at a private salon in the city.

The accused, identified as Purba Lepcha, a native of Darjeeling, was employed as a waiter at a private hotel in Bengaluru.

According to senior police officials, the couple had been in a relationship and had moved to Bengaluru about a month ago. They were living together in Doddakannalli.

Investigators said the accused allegedly suspected the woman of being in contact with another man, leading to frequent disputes between the couple.

On Sunday morning, another argument reportedly broke out over the issue. As the altercation escalated, the accused allegedly attacked the woman with a kitchen knife and slit her throat, killing her on the spot.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the murder was triggered by the accused's suspicion regarding the victim's relationship with another person.

Bellandur police rushed to the scene after receiving information and took the accused into custody. A case has been registered, and further investigation is underway.

The victim's body has been sent for post-mortem examination, and police are probing all aspects of the case.
