The killer spent two days with the corpse of Maya Gogoi, at a service apartment in Bengaluru
Bengaluru:
A man who allegedly killed his vlogger girlfriend in Bengaluru and spent two days with the corpse has been arrested, sources said.
Maya Gogoi, a vlogger from Assam, was allegedly killed by her boyfriend Aarav Hanoy in a service apartment earlier this week.
In a macabre twist, the police said the killer spent two days with the corpse at the service apartment.
Police said Aarav had escaped to Varanasi after the murder and returned to Bengaluru on Friday. He was arrested from the Devanahalli area, which is near the airport.
The probe so far has revealed that the boyfriend-turned-alleged killer had spent two days with the body of Maya Gogoi, and most of the time he was just smoking cigarettes while sitting in front of the corpse.
The police had formed three teams and launched a manhunt for him. One of the teams went to North Kannda districts and the another to Kerala to look for the accused.
Aarav Hanoy, after boarding a taxi from the service apartment, had reached the Majestic area located in the Central Business District of Bengaluru and turned his phone off after that.
According to the police, Maya Gogoi lived with her sister in Bengaluru’s HSR Layout.
She had called her sister and told her that she wouldn’t come home as she was attending an office party on Friday.
Later, she had sent another message on Saturday stating that she would not come home as she was partying that night as well.
Maya’s sister told the police that Aarav and Maya were in a relationship for the last six months after meeting on social media.
