Bengaluru (PTI): A 40-year-old woman was stabbed multiple times, leading to her death, allegedly by her male friend, for pressuring him to marry her, police said on Sunday.

The incident took place near Pillanna Garden in the K G Halli Police Station limits on Friday, they said.

The victim was a divorcee and was in a relationship with the accused, a 43-year-old married man, who has been arrested.
