HUBBALLI: Girish alias Vishwa Savant—the accused in the killing of a 21-year-old college student, Anjali Ambiger, in Hubballi was taken to Bendigeri police station on Wednesday.
Notably, the accused Girish was admitted to KIMS hospital after he got injured by falling from a train in Davangere. CID took Girish’s custody from KIMS hospital after he was discharged from there today.
The matter pertains to the murder of Anjali Ambiger, who was stabbed to death by the accused at her home in Hubballi on May 15. Anjali, had reportedly rejected marriage proposal of Girish, who claimed to be in love with her.
Girish had allegedly threatened to kill the victim in the same manner as a 21-year-old Hubballi college student who was stabbed to death by her former classmate.
Reportedly, Girish barged into Anjali’s house early, stabbed her multiple times, and then fled from the spot. Soon after the incident came to light, it sparked anger among locals, prompting them to launch a protest and demand action against the accused.
Prior to the incident, Anjali, went to Bendigeri Police Station to complain against the accused, but the police reportedly sent her back.
Hubbali Police Commissioner Renuka Sukumar said last week that two police officials were suspended on charges of dereliction of their duties in the case when the victim approached them to file a complaint.
Reportedy, the accused had threatened her to kill Anjali like Neha Hiremath — the 21-year-old Hubballi college student who was allegedly stabbed to death by her former classmate.
Neha Hiremath (21) was stabbed to death allegedly by her former classmate, Fayaz Khodunaik, at the campus of KLE Technological University in Hubballi Dharwad, where she was a first-year MCA student.
The police arrested Fayaz within hours of the incident and produced him before a magistrate, who sent him to 14-day judicial custody. The CID took Fayaz’s custody and was later brought to Hubballi from Dharwad. (ANI)
