Sudha (30) and her boyfriend Venugopal (27) met at a local gym. Sudha worked in a private company, while Venugopal was a gym trainer. Both grew romantically in the last year, in spite of the age difference. They were frequently spotted together, holding hands, and Sudha often went to Venugopal’s home.

Venugopal had started avoiding Sudha about four months earlier and refused to marry her, reports said. That tension between the couple grew. Sudha suspected Venugopal of being involved with another woman, fueling her outrage. For a month, she had been carrying a knife in her bag indicative of premeditation.

On the evening of the incident, Sudha called Venugopal, saying she wanted to talk. After they spoke briefly, she stabbed him several times in the chest, stomach, and arm before fleeing the scene. Venugopal, who was bleeding, was able to call his family and friends, who rushed him to a nearby hospital. His condition is described as serious.

After the attack, police filed a case for attempted murder and detained Sudha for questioning. Investigators determined that Sudha’s motive was Venugopal’s refusal to marry her and his suspected affair. The case has been noted as a bizarre example of a woman attacking her partner in a fit of rage after rejection, reversing the more common male‑perpetrated narrative. 

The stabbing in Bidadi points to the destructive results of obsession and betrayal in relationships. What started as a love story between two people who met at a gym quickly became violence, hospitalization, and police custody. As Venugopal struggles for recovery, Sudha faces serious charges that could change her life forever. The case serves as a lesson that unresolved emotions and refusal to accept rejection can lead to dangerous acts.
