India, March 12 -- Bengaluru police have arrested a 30-year-old electrician for allegedly murdering a 50-year-old woman four months ago in a premeditated crime inspired by the Kannada movie Drishya.

According to a report by Indian Express, the accused, identified as Lakshman, was caught after months of investigation, during which he attempted to destroy all evidence and evade the police.

Lakshman, a resident of KHB Colony Quarters near Nagenahalli in Yelahanka, allegedly strangled D Mary, a political party worker, in November 2024. He reportedly committed the crime to steal her gold ornaments and repay debts after suffering heavy financial losses in a failed chicken shop business, the report added.
