Never love a stranger on Orkut-----TCS gal murder case story revelead

A tragic love story: Flourished on Orkut, died in a bullet

Manish Thakur

Koushambi`s ill-fated end puts others on caution


The brutal murder of Koushambi Layek refuses to leave the mind. Her cheerful, vivacious and straightforward gaze from her picture on orkut seems to haunt many as we try to figure what exactly went wrong and why did she have to face such an ill-fated end.

MANISH THAKUR was arrested by the Police from a hotel room in Andheri. Was it a case of `crime of passion` or was it the fake posturing over the net on Thakur`s part that lured Koushambi into such a deadly web, one from which she`d never come out.

Koushambi Layek, a 24-year old software professional working for TCS would have never expected that she could have ever faced such a brutal death.

Koushambi met Thakur, a navy officer, online two years back and the story goes like this. Manish, in spite of being married lured her to marry him. Koushambi had informed her family, but they advised her against it. Their relationship continued and the police suspect
that he might have murdered her because she denied marrying him.

Manish tried to convince her several times that he will divorce his wife to marry her. In fact, he had not informed her initially that he was married. Her body was found in a pool of blood in a hotel room in Andheri. They had checked in as Mr. and Mrs. Thakore on May 12. She had been killed on Sunday night and by Monday afternoon the
hotel employees found her body. By then Manish had sneaked away.

Police confirmed that this murder was preplanned. This is because Manish was already carrying a chopper and a gun with him. They also suspect that he might have shot her in her sleep. The latest updates on CNN-IBN say that after shooting her (through a pillow to avoid noise of the gunshot! and he had also turned up the TV
volume), Manish wanted to chop her into pieces. But, he couldn`t
and stayed on for almost five hours drinking a whole bottle of
whisky.

Now where does orkut come into picture: Both of them had their
profiles on orkut!
Condolences are pouring into her scrapbook (
http://www.orkut.com/Profile.aspx?uid=11725203022944506305) and
some "great wishes" into his (
http://www.orkut.com/Profile.aspx?uid=348385650417627297 )! Using
this site, the police tracked the killer at Vasco (in Goa).

I was shocked to see the testimonial written by a girl to her
future killer:

Koushambi: Well, what to say about this guy... He is a really
caring and loving guy... He is amazing, awesome and friendly. I
need not describe him, as anyone close to him must surely be aware
of his abilities. He is an all rounder.. Be it in the field of
studies, sports or music. He is a champo...Don`t u think so???

According to her, he seemed to be intelligent - an all rounder -
well his so-called intelligence killed her!

Why did he do this? She was the only financial support to her mom,
who is a widow. The deadly roots from the net just squashed her
life and a family`s hopes. When matrimonial sites make
relationships online, we should be aware that there are so many
deadly pits in the Internet where you can fall to never return. Can
you imagine such an incident happening to your friend? Her friends
are all in a shock - they can`t believe that she could get involved
with such a Psycho!

True Arun. These kind of things happen anytime/anywhere to anyone as long as u let them take advantage of u. We cannot avoid strangers to come into our life coz everyone was a stranger to their spl someone at one point of their life. We should take utmost care when dealing with complete strangers abt whom we dont know much. Esp with ppl who dont wanna reveal much abt them even after we become their friends.

Very sad to see such incidents happen.

Hi Arun
Yes you are correct. Once i also registered by name in Orkut.I thought i can meet my old freinds through this site. But but did`t got any of my freinds . But one stranger came into picture. I also responded to him blindly. But later when he started asking my personal informations, I contacted my freind and as suggested by my freind i deleted my registration from this site.
Now i came to know how dangerious this will be
thanks for information

Yes !!! JiJiya,

Infact actually its good site to meet any of your old,

But see wht u said is right there are lot of people who take advantage,

Never ever disclose ur personal things to strangers until & unless u know,

The person thoroughly.
