Death of Bengaluru woman sparks manhunt for boyfriend

In a tragic and devastating incident, a 23-year-old employee working for an education technology firm was tragically found dead in her city apartment. The circumstances surrounding her death have led the police to strongly suspect foul play, prompting them to initiate a thorough investigation and launch a search for her boyfriend, who is currently on the run and evading capture.

The heartbreaking discovery was made by Akanksha Bidyasar's roommate on her return to their shared apartment on Monday. Upon finding Akanksha's lifeless body, she immediately prompted the authorities. Without delay, the police arrived at the scene and began their inquiries.

Akanksha's lifeless form was discovered lying on the bed, with a stole tightly tied around her neck—an alarming and disturbing detail.


As the investigation progressed, it came to light that Akanksha's boyfriend, Arpith Gurijala, had paid her a visit on the day of the incident. This revelation has significantly heightened the suspicions surrounding Gurijala's potential involvement in the case. At present, he remains a fugitive from the law, skillfully evading apprehension as the authorities intensify their efforts to locate and apprehend him.

Arpith and Akanksha shared a professional background, having previously worked together as colleagues in Hyderabad, but Akanksha had recently relocated to Bengaluru.
