A 27-year-old woman identified as Prema has been arrested by Karnataka's Bengaluru police after allegedly confessing to the brutal killing of her boyfriend in the "BDSM-style" murder case. The incident, which initially appeared to be a suicide, has unfolded into a chilling murder investigation involving elements of role-play used as a pretext for the crime. Prema is accused of blindfolding and tying up her partner, Kiran, before setting him on fire following a dispute over their relationship.
Details of the Alleged Crime Uncovered
According to police sources, the incident took place on the outskirts of Bengaluru within the Bidadi police station limits. During interrogation, Prema reportedly admitted to luring Kiran under the guise of a "Western-style" or BDSM-themed romantic proposal.

Once Kiran was blindfolded and his limbs were secured to a bed, Prema allegedly poured petrol and kerosene over him. She then set him on fire, resulting in his immediate death due to severe burn injuries. Investigators confirmed that the materials used in the act, including the accelerants, had been purchased by the accused in advance.

Motive for Murder and Relationship Background
The investigation revealed that Kiran and Prema had been in a relationship since August 2025, after meeting through their workplace. While the relationship initially appeared stable - with Prema reportedly planning expensive gifts for Kiran earlier this year - tensions arose in recent months. Police state that Kiran had begun to distance himself from Prema and had refused her marriage proposals. This perceived rejection reportedly left Prema deeply disturbed, leading her to plan the fatal attack. She also allegedly expressed an intention to end her own life following the act, though she was apprehended before any such attempt.

Police Investigation in Bengaluru Murder Case
Deputy Commissioner of Police (North-West Division), D.L. Nagesh, noted that the case was reclassified as a murder after forensic evidence pointed to the use of accelerants that contradicted the initial suicide theory. Byadarahalli police have since taken Prema into custody. Authorities have seized the physical evidence from the scene and are currently investigating whether Prema acted alone or received assistance. She remains in police custody pending further legal proceedings.
