A group of people staged a protest in Karnataka's Hubbali after a 20-year-old woman was stabbed to death at her residence by a man who was reportedly in love with her on Wednesday morning. The woman, identified as Anjali, had reportedly rejected his marriage proposal.

The accused, identified as Girish alias Vishwa, allegedly threatened the victim of killing her in the same manner as a 21-year-old Hubballi college student who was stabbed to death by her former classmate. The victim had approached the police and complained about the threats, but to no avail.
