Death threats:
Jeevan was running a dance studio called ‘Jam’ on Hosur Road. He also had a side business providing housekeeping and security staff. He had known the victim since 2018. According to her complaint, he proposed to her in June 2025, promising to marry her. The woman even got her mother to agree to the match.
After this, Jeevan took her to a service apartment in AECS Layout and a hotel on Hosur Road. He had a physical relationship with her, all while promising they would get married soon. But when she recently met him and asked about the wedding, he completely changed his tune. He told her, “I won’t marry you. You are not satisfying me physically.” He then insulted her and questioned her character.
He didn’t stop there. He also threatened to kill her if she dared to go to the police. Despite the threats, the woman filed a complaint. The police arrested Jeevan and he has been sent to judicial custody, officials confirmed. The case has been registered at the Parappana Agrahara police station.
