Valentine's Day Horror: MBA girl goes to meet boyfriend; he strangles her to death

A 24-year-old MBA student who had been missing for two days was found dead inside a rented house in Indore on Friday, triggering shock and outrage across the city. Police suspect she was strangled, and her male classmate, believed to be her boyfriend is currently absconding and being treated as the prime suspect.

The victim, a management student at a city college, had left home on February 11, telling her family she was attending a birthday party. When she failed to return, her family filed a missing person’s report at Pandharinath police station.

The case took a grim turn when residents of Dwarkapuri informed police about a foul smell emanating from a locked house. Upon entering the premises, officers discovered the woman’s body inside. Deputy Commissioner of Police Shri Krishna Lalchandani told PTI that she appeared to have died two days earlier, possibly due to strangulation. The exact cause of death will be confirmed after the post-mortem.

Allegations of Extortion and Threats

The woman’s father alleged that the accused had been pressuring his daughter for money and had threatened to leak her private photographs. He claimed the situation escalated when objectionable images were allegedly shared on her college WhatsApp group.

Police confirmed that the suspect, a resident of Mandsaur who was living in rented accommodation in Indore, is the main accused. “We suspect the murder was committed due to a rift in their romantic relationship,” the DCP said.

The accused remains untraceable as police examine digital evidence and continue their search. The post-mortem report is awaited, and further action will follow as the investigation progresses.
