Bengaluru: A gruesome crime shook Bengaluru’s Indiranagar area, where Maya Gogoi, a young professional from Assam, was found brutally murdered in a service apartment. The accused, identified as Aarav Anay from Kannur, Kerala, is currently on the run.
Crime details
The incident occurred at The Royal Livings, a service apartment where Aarav had been staying for three days. CCTV footage revealed Maya and Aarav arriving together on 23 November. Police believe that Aarav remained in the apartment for a full day after committing the crime, as footage showed him smoking near Maya’s body, raising suspicions that he may have contemplated dismembering her but later abandoned the idea.
On the morning of 24 November, Aarav booked a cab and fled, leaving Maya’s lifeless body behind.
