Woman Killed By Colleague For Saying No To Marriage Proposal

Bangaluru: A woman was killed on her way to work by her colleague after she refused his marriage proposal. The woman was only 23 years old. 

As per sources, the colleague, 27-year-old Venkatesh, had stabbed the woman, Anita, in the neck while they were on the way to work near Doddabele Road at Kengeri on Monday morning. 

The bleeding woman was taken to the hospital by Venkatesh and one other colleague. However, she was pronounced dead on arrival.
