Bengaluru, August 29: A woman woke up shocked to find her childhood friend lying dead beside her in a pool of blood the morning of August 28.

The choreographer-host Navyashree and the cab driver Kiran had a love marriage despite objections from their respective families. Three years into the marriage, Kiran objected to Navyashree's profession and wanted her to change it. He also doubted her fidelity and allegedly checked her phone regularly. These issues led to constant marital disputes between the couple.
Navyashree confided in her friend Aishwarya about her fears of being abused and expressed her helplessness.
