In a shocking incident in Bengaluru, 26-year-old Mahalaxmi was found cut into over 30 pieces and stored in a refrigerator at her home. Her husband, Hemant Das, claims she was having an affair with a man named Ashraf, who worked at a salon in Nelamangala.
Hemant said his wife had been in a relationship with Ashraf, and after Ashraf filed a complaint against him, Hemant was banned from entering Bengaluru. He last saw Mahalaxmi about a month ago when she visited their daughter at his shop. The couple had been married for six years but separated nine months ago due to problems in their relationship. Mahalaxmi had also filed a police complaint against Hemant after an argument.
Hemant suspects Ashraf is involved in the murder, revealing that Mahalaxmi had filed a blackmail complaint against Ashraf at the Seshadripuram police station a few months before she died. Her body was found in her home on Pipeline Road, Vyalikaval, after neighbors reported a bad smell coming from the house.
Police believe she was killed at the beginning of the month, and her body was cut up with a sharp weapon. Mahalaxmi had been living alone for six months and was working at a mall. A few suspects from the salon where Ashraf worked have been arrested, and the investigation is ongoing.
