Chowgule is currently lodged at Bengaluru’s Parappa Agrahara jail.

Chowgule was arrested within two days of committing the brutal murder on November 12 last year, and has been in judicial custody since then.

Earlier in February this year, police had filed the chargesheet in the case. Police cited his “possessiveness” and “problems in their relationship” as his motives for allegedly attacking Aynaz Mohammed (21), a trainee air hostess, who had earlier worked with him.
