Police claim the man only pretended to consume poison before allegedly strangling Bhavani, who had discovered he was already married with a child. The woman had recently agreed to an arranged marriage suggested by her parents.
A 22-year-old woman lost her life in Bengaluru, Karnataka after what police believe began as a suicide pact with her lover but ended in a shocking alleged murder. While the woman died, the man survived after reportedly pretending to consume poison before allegedly strangling her. Police are investigating the circumstances that led to the young woman's death and the events that unfolded inside her rented home.
Who Was Bhavani?
Bhavani, originally from Magadi, had moved to Bengaluru two years ago in search of work. She was employed as a cashier at a mobile phone shop and lived alone in a rented house. Her parents had recently spoken to her about marriage. Bhavani agreed to the proposal before returning to Bengaluru. Just two days after coming back, she was found dead, leaving her family and neighbours in shock.

A Relationship Built on False Promises
During the investigation, police learned that Bhavani had been in a relationship with an auto driver. The two had been living together for some time, with the man repeatedly assuring her that he would marry her.
However, Bhavani later discovered that he was already married and had a son. The revelation left her deeply distressed, knowing her family would never accept her becoming his second wife.
Unable to see a way forward, she agreed to the arranged marriage suggested by her parents. But according to police, she remained emotionally torn between her family and her relationship.

What Police Believe Happened
Investigators said the auto driver later visited Bhavani's house and allegedly convinced her that they should die together. The pair reportedly agreed to end their lives by consuming poison.
Police allege that while Bhavani drank the poison, the man consumed only a small amount and spilled the rest around his mouth to make it appear that he had also taken it.
Investigators further allege that he later changed his mind after thinking about his wife and young son. To ensure Bhavani died, he allegedly strangled her.
The man survived and is currently undergoing treatment in hospital, while police continue their investigation into the case.
