BENGALURU: A woman was stabbed to death for ending her relationship. She has been identified as Amrutha, a law student in Bengaluru. The woman was fatally stabbed by her lover’s brother for ending the relationship. Amrutha, who had been undergoing treatment for three days with serious injuries, died yesterday.

The incident happened on July 13 in Kodihalli. Apart from studying law, Amrutha worked part-time at a pizza outlet. She was in a relationship with Dhanush, whom she met through a family member.
