In a separate news, a woman aged 40 years was fatally stabbed near Pillanna Garden in north Bengaluru’s K G Halli area on Friday, allegedly by a man she was in a relationship with. Police said the attack stemmed from a dispute after the woman urged him to marry her.

The victim was a divorcee working as a domestic help, and had been in a relationship with the accused, a 43-year-old married man. According to investigators, the two had been seeing each other secretly for some time. However, tensions grew when the woman began insisting that he leave his wife and formalize their relationship, a proposal he rejected.
