Pune Man Stabs Colleague To Death In Office Parking Lot, No One Intervenes 

A 28-year-old woman was stabbed to death with a kitchen knife by a colleague in the parking lot of their company in Pune on Tuesday, allegedly because she borrowed money from him under false pretences. 

Several people witnessed the horrific attack, but no one intervened. 

Krishna Kanoja, 30, an accountant at WNS Global – a business process outsourcing (BPO) company in Yerawada – told the police that his colleague, 28-year-old Shubhada Kodare had borrowed money from him several times, telling him that her father was unwell and needed treatment. 

When Kanoja asked for the money back, Kodare refused, citing her father’s condition. He then went to her native place to corroborate her story and found that her father was okay and was suffering from no health issues. 

Around 6 pm on Tuesday, Kanoja called Kodare to their office’s parking lot to confront her and ask for his money back. Kodare refused, leading to an argument, and Kanoja stabbed her with a kitchen knife.

Several people who were in the parking lot saw Kanoja stab Kodare but did nothing to try and stop it. One or more of them even recorded the act. It was only after the woman was writhing on the ground and Kanoja threw the weapon that a crowd surrounded him and thrashed him. 

“Kodare was rushed to a hospital with a severe injury to her elbow. She was declared dead around 9 pm on Tuesday. A case was registered Kanoja has been arrested,” said a police officer.
