A 25-year-old woman was choked to death, allegedly by her husband, at her home in Bengaluru late on Tuesday night. Police said Navyashree’s husband Kiran has been taken into custody and is being questioned about the incident.

A police statement says the complaint in the matter was filed by Navyashree’s friend Aishwarya who stayed over at her place that night. Aishwarya has told police that Navyashree called her Tuesday morning and said she was upset over her marriage. She then asked her to come over.

Accordingly, Aishwarya reached Navyashree’s home at Kengeri in SMV layout around 4.30 pm Tuesday. Soon after, Anil, another friend of Navyashree, joined them and the three discussed her troubled marriage over dinner. Anil told Navyashree to file a police complaint against her husband.
