A 27-year-old woman in Bengaluru has been accused of murdering her lover by blindfolding him, tying him to a chair and setting him on fire.
The accused, Prerana, had been in a relationship with the man, Kiran, and things recently escalated as Prerana was alleged to be upset with him.
According to the police, Prerana called Kiran to her house in Anjanapura on Tuesday morning when she was alone.
After talking to Kiran for some time, she allegedly blindfolded him and tied his hands and legs to a chair, under the pretext of a 'foreign-style proposal.'
Police officials said that tensions recently escalated after Prerana alleged that Kiran had been ignoring her and she was also upset over Kiran's refusal to marry her.
Police cited 'anger over being neglected in the relationship' as the reason for the murder in the initial findings and added that the accused woman has been taken into custody.
