In Bengaluru, the assailant who gained access to the victim's room on the third floor assaulted her near her room and ultimately strangled her to death.

A 24-year-old woman was murdered by a miscreant within the premises of her PG accommodation at VR Layout, Koramangala on Tuesday. The victim was identified as Kriti Kumari, a resident of Bihar and the murder reportedly occurred between 11:10 and 11:30 pm. She was working for a private company in Bengaluru.

The murder reportedly took place when a young man entered the women's PG armed with a knife. He assaulted Kriti near her third-floor room and ultimately strangling her to death. Later, Kriti was found dead in her room. 

Based on the information, the police arrived at the scene. Authorities are currently reviewing CCTV footage to identify the assailant, who is believed to be someone known to Kriti.
