Bengaluru: A 22-year-old woman, who worked as a vlogger and a private company employee, was found murdered inside a hotel room in Bengaluru’s Indiranagar on Tuesday morning, media reports said.

According to police, Maya, who worked at a firm in Koramangala, checked into Hotel Royal Living near Double Road Park on the afternoon of November 23, accompanied by a male friend, Arnav Harnoy, from Kerala, reorted the Times of India.

The incident came to light when hotel staff, unable to get a response while taking breakfast orders, reviewed CCTV footage.

The video showed Arnav leaving the hotel hastily early Tuesday morning.

Suspecting foul play, staff used a duplicate key to access the room, where they found Maya's body on the bed with multiple stab wounds.

Her mobile phone was recovered from the scene, and police are examining the device for clues.

"Preliminary investigations suggest that Arnav Harnoy may have stabbed Maya to death on Monday. It appears he spent the night in the room with her body before leaving with his belongings early Tuesday morning," a police officer stated, according to the report.

CCTV footage from nearby buildings captured Arnav boarding a cab after exiting the hotel.

"Between November 24 and 26, no one other than Arnav and Maya entered the room. We have definite leads on Arnav and will arrest him soon," the officer added.
