A 26-year-old software engineer named Vandana Dwivedi was killed by her boyfriend, Rishabh Nigam, inside a hotel room in the Laxminagar area of Pune. As per the police investigation, the deceased was working at Infosys and was in a relationship with Rishabh for almost 10 years.
As per the police investigation report, the incident happened around 9:45 p.m. on January 27 in hotel room number 306. However, police learned about the incident the next day on Sunday, and arrested the suspect, Rishabh Nigam.
Rishabh and Vandana both come from Lucknow and for work, Vandana moved to Pune. Before moving to Pune, Vandana and Rishabh used to live in the same locality.
Why did Rishabh Nigam kill Vandana Dwivedi?
According to the police report, Rishabh and Vandana started dating in 2014. Police had earlier speculated that Rishabh killed Vandana Dwivedi because he believed she was not paying him any attention. The police did promise to determine the precise reason behind the murder, though.
According to the authorities, Rishabh made a hotel reservation on January 25. Vandana joined him the following day, on Friday, January 26. They also said that on Saturday night, they had acrimonious disagreements. Rishabh then shot Vandana again, killing her in the process by striking her in the head and chest.
“Our team found the body of the victim with bullet injuries in room number 306,” stated the assistant commissioner of police. He went on to say that both the suspect and the victim had reservations starting at approximately 9:30 p.m. on January 25, even though the accused checked out of the hotel on Saturday between 9:30 and 10 p.m. and the victim arrived a day later. This information was discovered through an examination of the hotel’s register.
The hotel personnel was unaware of the firing sound because loud music was playing and people were exploding firecrackers as a result of the Maratha reservation decision. According to the Police Commissioner, “Hotel staffers heard the firing sound, but they ignored it because of the noise from firecrackers outside the hotel.”
