Gym Instructor Kills Techie Girlfriend Over Higher Salary

Harish Kumar, a 24 year-old gym trainer was arrested by the Bengaluru police for the murder of 23 year-old Vijayalakshmi. The victim who hailed from Haryana was found dead in her rented apartment in Kaithota Road on Sunday. Police who found her body in a decomposed state, identified her boyfriend, a gym instructor from Delhi as the prime suspect and arrested him.

It is learnt Vijayalakshmi found a job in Bengaluru as a software engineer and came to the city in early August. The accused is said to have followed her to Bengaluru. Kumar reportedly had an argument with the victim. During the course of the squabble between the two, she is reported to have claimed that she was getting paid more, compared to him. This, apart from the fact that he began to feel ignored by her, is said to have angered him. Kumar smothered her to death last Thursday following an argument at her house.
