Bengaluru police have detained the boyfriend of a 28-year-old woman named Archana Dhiman, who allegedly fell from a building in Koramangala on Saturday, March 11. Archana worked as an air hostess and had recently arrived in India from Dubai to meet her boyfriend Adesh. The incident occurred around midnight on Saturday when Archana allegedly fell from the fourth floor of the Renuka Residency apartment where Adesh lived.
According to the police, the couple had met on a dating app and had been in a relationship for the past six months. However, recently, they had been experiencing some differences. On the day of the incident, the couple had reportedly gone to Forum Mall and returned home after watching a movie before partying late into the night and getting into an argument.
Police are currently investigating whether there was any foul play in Archana’s death and have taken Adesh into custody for further questioning.
