Guled, the deputy commissioner of police (Bengaluru East division) said before Krishnakumari was murdered, she had called a friend around 9:45 pm and informed him about a fight she had with Dhami. “Half-an-hour later she made a video call to the friend, where he saw her boyfriend assaulting Krishnakumari,” the police said.>
She asked two of her friends to arrive at their rented house. “When one of the friends reached, Krishnakumari was lying on a bed in a pool of blood.
