Overview
- The attack occurred after the pair met near Vansampada Garden on Friday night when the accused allegedly stabbed Vaishnavi Avare multiple times and slit her throat.
- The victim called her fiancé during the confrontation and he kept the line open, later telling police he heard about 20–30 minutes of arguing and the accused say, "Vaishu is finished."
- Hours later officers discovered the suspected attacker, identified as 26-year-old Sahil Lavhare, hanging from a tree at the Indiranagar jogging track in an apparent suicide.
- Indiranagar police have registered a murder case and are preparing an FIR based on the fiancé’s complaint while collecting phone records and witness statements under an active investigation led by senior local officers.
- Preliminary inquiries say the two had earlier lived together and that Vaishnavi was engaged to another man, and investigators are probing whether harassment over her engagement or her refusal to marry motivated the killing.
