Hubballi: A 22-year-old woman from Yallapur Oni was found murdered at Barmer district in Rajasthan on Wednesday.

It is believed that the victim Deepa Bhajantri may have been killed by her lover Gautam, who hails from Rajasthan.

It is said that Deepa Bhajantri left for Rajasthan with her lover Gautam, after informing her parents about her affair.

She had told her parents that she was going to marry Gautam in Rajasthan and would return after one month of the marriage. She left home around eight days ago.

However, her body was found on the outskirts of Barmer city.

She was identified with a hotel bill, in which it was written that Deepa was from Hubballi.

Gautam was employed in a plastic store at Baradansal, but when the cops approached the store, the owner had no clue about Gautam’s background.
