BANGALORE: A young woman was hacked to death on Monday evening by two bike-borne assailants in full public view on 7th Cross, BTM Layout.
Divya S, 23, an employee of a private company, was heading to her NS Palya home at 6.45pm when the two men blocked her. They slashed her repeatedly on the neck and face with a machete before speeding away on their two-wheeler, which bore no registration number. It was all over in 40 seconds, eyewitnesses told TOI.
While some shocked passersby ran away, others tried to stop the assailants. The rush-hour traffic was blocked for nearly 30 minutes, and police had a tough time clearing vehicles and shifting Divya to Sagar Hospital on Bannerghatta Road.
Divya succumbed to her injuries at 9pm. Her family members said she breathed her last even before she was taken to the operation theatre.
Deputy commissioner of police, southeast, PS Harsha told TOI: "We have definite clues about the assailants and will arrest them shortly."
The incident took place a stone's throw away from the IPS officers' colony, where senior officers, including DG&IGP-in-charge A R Infant and former city police commissioner Shankar Bidari, reside.
Divya worked as administrative head with a private footwear-manufacturing company inKoramangala. She is survived by her parents and three sisters. Hailing from Kundapur, the family shifted to Bangalore around five years ago.
Last month, a friend of Divya is reported to have proposed to her, but she said "no" as she had already chosen her life partner, a friend of hers said. Divya's colleagues said she moved around with the man, making him think she was in love with him.
