Accused BTech student…

Bengaluru: On Monday, Police said, a 19-year-old girl was stabbed to death by another student on college premises in Karnataka's Bengaluru.

Layasmitha was stabbed multiple times by Pawan Kalyan on Monday in the corridor of Presidency College where she was studying BTech.

Pawan Kalyan, a BCA student at Nrupathunga University in Bengaluru, had entered Layasmitha's college with a knife ditching the security, officials said.

After attacking Layasmitha multiple times, Pawan Kalyan tried to take her life too, officials said.

"Pawan was carrying a knife. After a very long and brief conversation with Layasmitha, he stabbed her multiple times. He then stabbed himself in the chest," a police official said.

The college staff and Layasmitha's friends rushed her to a nearby hospital where she was declared brought dead on arrival, officials said, adding that Pawan Kalyan is being treated at the hospital.

Pawan Kalyan and Layasmitha allegedly knew each other. They both were from the same village in Karnataka's Kolar district, police said.

Police said the motive of the murder is yet to be ascertained. A case has been registered and an investigation is going on, they said.

Police will also investigate the role of college authorities over the allegations of this level of negligence. "Police will investigate why Pawan Kalyan was allowed into the college with a sharp instrument," an official said.
