Age 21 Aarav Hanoy was born in Thottada, Kannur, Kerala. He was employed as a student counsellor at a private school in Bengaluru. He met 19-year-old Maya on social networking, and the two had been dating for six months. According to the police, the murder may have been caused by problems in their relationship.
When housing staff accessed the room on Tuesday after being notified of a bad odour, they found Maya laying on the bed with serious injuries to her head and torso. A serious cut to her chest was determined to be the cause of death. The incident happened late on Sunday night, as evidenced by the body’s decomposition.
