Pune Infosys techie murder: Suspect guard tried to commit suicide, police say sympathy ploy

Pune. A security guard arrested for allegedly murdering an Infosys employee has told Pune Police he tried to commit suicide after strangling the female engineer but changed his mind at the last minute.

But officials dismissed his statement, saying the guard was trying to create sympathy for himself and pointed to signs that he had planned the murder in advance.

Bhaben Saikia, 26, was picked up on Monday, hours after the software professional, Rasila Raju OP, was found strangled with a computer cable at her workplace in Hinjewadi IT park near Pune.

Saikia confessed to the crime and said he went to the roof of the building to fling himself off the terrace but reconsidered when he saw security officials on the ground, officials reported.

He also said he called up his mother in Assam, told her about the crime and surrendered after her advice to do the same.
