Pune, 3rd June 2026: A shocking murder case has surfaced in Wagholi, where a 26-year-old woman was allegedly killed by her live-in partner following repeated disputes over suspicions about her character.
The victim, identified as Rehana Khatun, originally from West Bengal's Medinipur district, had been living with the accused, Ravi Sameer Vairal, in the Avhalwadi Road area of Wagholi.
According to police, the couple had been facing frequent conflicts for several months as the accused allegedly doubted her fidelity.
Police said an intense argument broke out between the two on May 28. During the quarrel, the accused allegedly assaulted Rehana and murdered her. In an attempt to conceal the crime, he reportedly left her body inside the house, locked the premises from outside, and fled.
