Bangalore: After having suffered sudden end of a romantic relationship,   a lover allegedly stabbed a woman to death on Tuesday, February 28, evening after she refused to marry him over their caste difference, police said.

The accused was identified as Dinakar Banalam, a resident of Srikakulam, while the victim was named as Leela Pavithra Neelami of Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh.

Leela was employed by Omega Healthcare and resided in Bangalore, said the police. Dinakar Banala allegedly stabbed her many times after she allegedly rejected his marriage proposal because her family would not approve of their union because he belonged to a different caste.

"Since the girl is from a different caste than her family, they weren't prepared for the wedding. The guy stabbed her more than 15 times in front of her office after his marriage proposal was turned down. On Tuesday, the event happened about 7 p.m "DCP Bheemashankar S. Guled stated.

According to a preliminary inquiry, Dinakar and Leela started dating five years ago, the police reported. Due to the caste disparity, the latter's family was adamantly opposed to their marriage.

"Five years ago, Dinakar and Leela fell in love. Nevertheless, because Dinakar belonged to a different caste than Leela, Leela's family opposed their union. Dinakar was advised by Leela that her family did not approve of their union and that she would have to respect their decision. Dinakar became enraged by this and repeatedly attacked Leela outside her office said the DCP.

The police arrived at the scene after learning of the information and detained the suspect. Further investigation is underway.
