In a shocking incident in Anjanapura, Bengaluru, Prerana, a 27-year-old woman, has been accused of murdering her boyfriend Kiran, also 27, by blindfolding him, tying him to a chair, and setting him on fire. The couple had been in a relationship for nearly a year, but tensions escalated recently due to Kiran allegedly neglecting Prerana and refusing to marry her. On Tuesday, Prerana invited Kiran to her home when her family was away. After a brief conversation, she allegedly blindfolded him and tied him up under the guise of a 'foreign-style proposal.' Initial claims by Prerana suggested that Kiran had set himself on fire, but police investigations revealed that he had not brought any fuel, contradicting her statement. Authorities suspect that the murder was premeditated, with evidence indicating that Prerana arranged petrol beforehand. She is currently in police custody as investigations continue.
