Mumbai: A 23-year-old youth was booked culpable homicide not amounting to murder in connection with the death of his girlfriend during a sex session in a hotel in Mumbai last year, an official said Tuesday.
The Israeli national, Oriron Yakov was booked by Colaba police under IPC section 304 after the forensic science lab’s report confirmed that his 20-year-old girlfriend, also an Israeli national, had died of suffocation during an act of sexual intercourse.
The incident occurred March 15 last year when Yakov and the woman visited India on a tourist visa and stayed at a hotel in Colaba area of south Mumbai. According to police, Yakov allegedly applied pressure on the woman’s neck during sexual intercourse in the hotel room, due to which the woman suffocated.
The police later rushed to the hotel after Yakov informed the staff that his girlfriend was lying motionless in the room, he said.
The woman was taken to a hospital where she was declared dead, he said, adding that a case of accidental death was registered at that time as the exact cause of her demise was not known.
The woman’s family members had later taken the body to Israel, he said.
The official said that the police recently received the forensic lab’s report which mentioned that the woman died of suffocation.
Based on findings of the report, the police registered a case against Yakov, who is currently in Israel, he said, adding that a probe was on in the case.
