Girish Sawant kept pressuring her into a relationship

In a tragic incident in Karnataka’s Hubballi, a 20-year-old woman named Anjali Ambigera was brutally stabbed to death in her own home, allegedly by a 21-year-old neighbour, Girish Sawant. Reports suggest that Sawant had been persistently pressuring Anjali to enter a relationship with him, but she repeatedly rejected his advances. This rejection purportedly triggered the violent attack, which occurred while Anjali was asleep early in the morning.
