Abhishek was in a relationship with Kriti Kumari’s friend and colleague. Abhishek’s girlfriend hails from Maharashtra.

Abhishek used to visit the PG hostel and often travelled to Bengaluru from Bhopal to date his girlfriend. The relationship soured between them, and the victim’s friend avoided him. After this, Abhishek came to the PG hostel and created a ruckus. Kriti Kumari had helped her friend shift to a new PG hostel, and both stopped taking his calls.

Enraged by this, Abhishek came to the PG hostel where Kriti was staying on Tuesday night and committed the crime.

The horrifying CCTV footage of the brutal murder of the woman emerged on Friday raising concerns in the IT city about the safety of lakhs of women.
