A shocking crime has emerged from Bengaluru, where a woman's body was found stuffed inside a suitcase at a residence near Hulimavu. The victim, identified as 32-year-old Gauri Anil Sambekar, was allegedly murdered by her husband, Rakesh Sambekar. The crime came to light when Rakesh called Gauri’s parents and confessed to the murder. The police, after receiving information from Maharashtra authorities, launched an investigation and later arrested the suspect in Pune. The case has sparked widespread concern and discussions about domestic violence and crime in urban areas.

On the evening of the crime, the Hulimavu police received a distress call about a suspected hanging case. Upon reaching the scene, they found the house locked. After breaking in, they discovered a suitcase in the bathroom. When forensic teams opened the suitcase, they found Gauri's body inside. Unlike typical suitcase murders, where the body is often dismembered, her body was found intact but showed severe injury marks.
Reports indicate that Rakesh Sambekar had called Gauri’s parents and admitted to killing her. Following this, Maharashtra Police informed their Bengaluru counterparts, leading to a swift investigation. The motive behind the crime remains unclear, and further interrogation is expected to provide more details.
The couple had been married for two years and had recently moved to Bengaluru from Maharashtra for work. While Rakesh was employed as a project manager at an IT company, Gauri was a housewife actively searching for a job.
