🚨 “Jo Ho Gaya So Ho Gaya”: indore Horror Shakes the Nation as Accused Shows No Remorse

Some crimes disturb.
Some leave a scar on a city.

And then some force an entire community to confront a brutal truth about obsession, control, and violence.

That is what happened in Indore.

1️⃣ A Young Life Cut Short

A 24-year-old MBA student was found dead inside her rented accommodation in the Dwarkapuri area of Indore. The discovery came days after she had last spoken to her family. According to police, the accused — identified as piyush Dhanotiya — was her boyfriend. Both were MBA students. Their relationship had reportedly lasted nearly a year.

Friends and family say marriage had been discussed. But beneath that conversation, tension was brewing.

Investigators believe suspicion and jealousy had been building for weeks. Arguments over her interactions with other male friends allegedly triggered escalating conflict.

2️⃣ The Night Everything Changed

On february 10, the young woman told her family she was heading to a birthday gathering. That was the last normal conversation they would have.

Around 11 pm that night, a chilling message was sent from her phone:

“Tell Papa she won’t be returning home.”

Soon after, the phone was switched off.

Her family tried calling. Again and again. No answer.

Days later, neighbours noticed a foul smell coming from her rented room. police forced the door open.

Inside was a scene that officers described as deeply disturbing.

3️⃣ What police Found

Authorities say the victim was found on her bed, her hands tied. A T-shirt had been forced into her mouth and secured with tape. Investigators believe she was strangled with a rope. When the accused allegedly suspected she might still be alive, he stabbed her in the chest.

police recovered the rope and a knife bearing fingerprints.

Investigators further allege that after the killing, the accused used her phone to send obscene material to some of her contacts. Several reports also claim that he sexually assaulted the victim after her death — allegations that have intensified public outrage.

The brutality of the crime has left the city shaken.

4️⃣ Escape, Evasion, Arrest

After the incident, the accused allegedly fled to Mumbai.

police say he kept changing locations and attempted to destroy evidence, including throwing the victim’s phone from a moving train. However, investigators tracked a newly activated SIM card, eventually tracing him to Andheri, where he was arrested.

His capture brought relief.

His behaviour after arrest brought anger.

5️⃣ “Chhodo Na…”

During a crime scene reconstruction in indore, reporters questioned him about the motive.

His reported response stunned many:

“Time aayega tab sabko achhe se karan bataunga.”

When pressed further, he allegedly added:

“Chhodo na, jo ho gaya so ho gaya, kya karoge jaankar?”

Translated loosely: Leave it. What’s done is done. What will you do knowing why?

The apparent lack of remorse struck a nerve across social media and beyond.

police sources also revealed that while in Maharashtra, he allegedly attempted occult rituals claiming he wanted to apologise to the victim’s spirit — something he later denied.

6️⃣ A Larger Question

This was not just a crime of violence. It was, investigators suggest, a crime shaped by control, jealousy, and an inability to accept autonomy within a relationship.

What makes cases like this especially disturbing is how ordinary they appear at first glance: two students, academic ambitions, plans for the future.

Until one person decides that rejection, disagreement, or suspicion is reason enough to destroy a life.

⚖️ Where the Case Stands

The accused remains in police custody as investigations continue. Authorities are examining forensic evidence, wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">digital trails, and communication records.

Meanwhile, a grieving family is left with unanswered questions.

And a city that once saw two MBA students building a future is now grappling with how quickly that future turned into a headline no one wanted to read.

This is no longer just a relationship gone wrong.

It is a reminder of how unchecked obsession can escalate — and how its consequences ripple far beyond a single room in Dwarkapuri.
