A 20-year-old Indian student has been arrested in Germany for the crime of murdering his girlfriend in the United States.
In Arizona, USA, Varun Batsikari (20), who allegedly killed his 19-year-old American girlfriend and fled to Germany, was reportedly arrested while attempting to escape from Germany to India by plane.
Varun, who was studying business analytics at the University of Arizona, murdered his girlfriend Ruby on August 6.
At 4 p.m. that evening, the police received an emergency call. When they went to the scene and checked, Ruby had died there on the spot with severe injuries. It was later found that her friend Varun had committed the murder.
After killing Ruby, Varun used her cellphone to send messages to her parents saying that he was innocent and had done nothing wrong. This made her parents suspicious, and when they contacted the police and requested that they go to the girl’s house and check, it was then discovered that she had been murdered.
In the initial investigation, it is said that he traveled from the United States to Houston and from there to Berlin in Germany. From there, he was reportedly planning to return to India.
He arrived at Tucson International Airport from Berlin and was arrested by the police while he was about to board a flight to India.
Information has also been received that numerous violent charges had previously been filed against him.
On August 5, people staying near Ruby’s room reportedly heard screams from her bedroom and then sent her a text message to check whether she was okay.
However, instead of being frightened, Ruby reportedly replied that she was fine and that the sound had been caused by an argument, some young people noted. Only later was it discovered that those messages had been sent by Varun.
Investigators have found that Ruby had been planning to end her relationship with Varun, and that the murder may have occurred during an argument over it.
While studying 'Business Analytics' at the University of Arizona, he was reportedly expelled from the university after getting involved in a fight on campus. It is also reported that, having recently lost his job, he was unable to pay his rent, which led to the possibility of his visa being canceled.
