In a chilling incident that has gripped Bhopal, a 27-year-old aspiring model was discovered lifeless under highly suspicious circumstances on Monday morning, November 10, 2025. Her boyfriend, identified as Kasim Ahmed, allegedly transported her unresponsive body to a hospital on Indore Road in the Bhainsakhedi area before fleeing the scene in panic. Medical staff, upon confirming her death, promptly alerted authorities, thrusting the case into the spotlight of Madhya Pradesh's law enforcement.
The victim, Khushboo Ahirwar—known professionally as Khushi Verma—had carved a niche on social media with her Instagram handle '@Diamond Girl', amassing over 12,000 followers through glamorous posts and lifestyle content. Having dropped out of college after her first year, she had relocated to Bhopal three years prior, sustaining herself through modeling gigs and part-time employment. Her family, devastated by the loss, has vehemently alleged foul play, pointing to visible injury marks on her face, shoulders, and private parts as evidence of a brutal assault.
Head Constable Prateek Kumar revealed that Khushboo had been in a live-in relationship with Kasim for some time, and he claimed to have rushed her to the facility when her condition suddenly worsened. However, his abrupt departure raised immediate red flags, prompting police to register a formal case under relevant sections for murder and evasion. The investigation gained momentum with Kasim's swift arrest later that day, as officers pieced together timelines from hospital CCTV footage and witness statements.

A detailed post-mortem examination is underway at Gandhi Medical College, overseen by a magistrate and Khushboo's grieving relatives to ensure procedural integrity. Preliminary family accounts indicate that Khushboo had briefly mentioned Kasim during a recent call to her sister but provided scant details about their dynamic. For the past three days leading up to the tragedy, her phone had gone unanswered, heightening concerns when attempts to reach Kasim also failed, leading to frantic searches by her loved ones.
As the probe deepens, Bhopal police are delving into potential motives, including domestic disputes and the controversial 'love jihad' claims raised by the family, amid broader societal tensions. This heartbreaking case underscores the vulnerabilities faced by young women in urban India, with authorities vowing a thorough inquiry to deliver justice and prevent similar fates. Updates are expected as forensic results emerge, keeping the city on edge.
