Kolkata, Nov 8 (UNI) A 25-year-old software engineer was allegedly murdered by his live-in partner following a quarrel at their rented flat in Garia on Saturday night.

The deceased, identified as Sarthak Sarkar, was originally from Barasat but had been living with his partner, Sanchalika Basu, at a rented flat in Fartabad, Garia.
Sarthak was employed with a company in Salt Lake's Sector V, while Sanchalika is a student of law at a private college, police sources said.
According to police, an altercation broke out between the couple at their flat on Saturday night.
