The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Manipal police arrested a 21-year-old man, Sai Sanjay Bingare, in connection with the suicide of a college student in Manipal.
- The student, Paula Leslie Warjri from Assam, died by suicide between November 7 and 8, 2025, in her room at Iris Plaza Building near Kayin Circle.
- Police had earlier closed the case after a final report, and handed the student's iPad, iPhone, diary, and mobile phone to her mother.
- The mother's examination of these devices revealed chat records exchanged between the accused and the student via Snapchat, leading to a new case at the Manipal police station.
- The arrest matters because the complaint alleges the accused may have continuously harassed or blackmailed the student, and the court has remanded him to judicial custody.
What to watch next
- Findings of the police investigation into the alleged harassment or blackmail
- Outcome of the case after the court's judicial custody remand
- Whether Snapchat chat records are examined further as evidence
