A Security guard has been arrested by the Samta Nagar police for killing his girlfriend in the early hours of Sunday. According to the police, the accused Dambar Bahadur, 33, and Hemkumari, 30—both Nepali nationals—connected on Facebook around six months ago. Bahadur was working as a security guard and Hemkumari was employed as a caretaker for a patient in the same locality.

The two were involved in a romantic relationship and often met at Bahadur's security cabin located in Chinmay Cooperative Housing Society at Ashok Nagar, Kandivali East. On the night of April 14, Hemkumari visited Bahadur in his security cabin to celebrate her birthday. The two consumed alcohol after which Hemkumari became emotional, reflecting on her two failed marriages. In her distressed state, she began banging her head against the cabin wall.
