00:00
A 29-year-old woman's body was found chopped into pieces and stored in the refrigerator
00:05
of her own apartment in Bengaluru.
00:13
No one knew about the crime that happened in the apartment, until the neighbours became
00:16
suspicious.
00:17
Here's what we know so far.
00:25
Mahalakshmi Das from Nepal was living alone on the first floor of her rented apartment
00:29
in Bengaluru.
00:39
She was married to Hemant Das, who owned a mobile store, but they were living separately
00:44
and their 4-year-old daughter was living with her father.
01:01
Mahalakshmi used to work at a clothing store in a mall.
01:04
Her neighbours said a foul smell had been coming from her apartment for a few days.
01:08
Initially they thought it was coming from rotten food, but they became suspicious when
01:12
the foul smell eventually got stronger.
01:15
On 20th September 2024, one of her neighbours called her family, complaining about the foul
01:19
smell.
01:20
Mahalakshmi's mother said she was informed about it around 7.30 pm in the evening, and
01:25
they decided to visit her apartment the next day.
01:31
On 21st September 2024, when Mahalakshmi's family reached the apartment, it was locked
01:36
from outside.
01:37
They then opened the door with spare key.
01:40
Her mother said the apartment looked messy, with clothes, slippers and bags scattered
01:44
in the living room.
01:45
She added that there were some maggots near the refrigerator and it looked as if there
01:48
were bloodstains as well.
01:50
When they opened the refrigerator, they were devastated to find Mahalakshmi's body chopped
01:55
into over 50 pieces.
01:56
The police were then alerted about the incident.
01:59
Her mother recalled the last conversation with Mahalakshmi over the phone, where the
02:02
latter said that she would visit her husband soon.
02:05
Hours after the murder was reported, four special teams were formed to investigate the
02:09
matter.
02:10
The police suspected that the body might have been cut into pieces somewhere else, as there
02:14
were no bloodstains found at the apartment apart from the ones near the fridge.
02:18
Bengaluru police registered an FIR under Section 1031 of the Bharatiya Naya Sanhita for the
02:24
murder.
02:25
We are investigating the case from all angles and more or less the culprit who is the French
02:33
suspect who is likely to have committed this ghastly offence, he is identified, only thing
02:40
is we are yet to apprehend him, in the sense we have not yet caught him, so as and when
02:46
the person is caught and further his interrogation is done, then we will be able to provide further
02:52
details regarding the case.
02:53
In 2022, India reported over 28,000 murder cases across the country, out of which over
02:59
8,000 were women.
03:01
In the Bengaluru murder case, several suspects had been detained.
03:05
Mahalakshmi's husband alleged that she was having an affair and her lover might be involved
03:10
in the murder.
03:11
Although it wasn't confirmed who committed the crime, the investigation was still underway
03:15
as of publishing this story.
03:16
I already told that the prime suspect has already been identified, we have to physically
03:24
arrest him, only then we will know further details, at this stage if I tell anything
03:28
it will be to the benefit of the accused, not to the public, so I restrain from giving
03:33
any further details.
03:34
Is he from Bangalore or outside?
03:35
He is an outsider.
