A 26-year-old former marketing executive named Darshan Kumar Yadav was arrested by Kumbalagudu police for murdering his girlfriend's seven-year-old daughter, Siri S. The incident occurred on October 24 after Shilpa S K, the child’s mother and a business development officer, left for work. Darshan had been pressuring Shilpa to admit Siri to a hostel due to alleged disturbances during their private time together. On that day, he took Siri to his home where he allegedly killed her by slamming her head on the floor and smothering her. When Shilpa returned after hearing her daughter cry over the phone, she was assaulted and locked in a room before discovering Siri's body. Darshan had a history of abusive relationships with multiple women he befriended online.
