Orkut is in news again and this time due to the tragic death of Koushambi Layek who was murdered by her lover Manish Thakur, with whom she had developed relations on orkut.com. This incident again points towards the hazards of social networking. WHEN EVERY BIG business house is running a business of social networking website, orkut.com owned by Google continues to be in the centre of controversy for one wrong reason or another. This time Orkut finds itself in the midst of a murder mystery. The reason for murder is believed to be failed love which developed on Orkut. This love story started in the AC three tier compartment. The accused Manish Thakur was on his way to Thiruvantapuram where he met Koushambi Layek who was on her way to the training centre of a Company. The relation gradually evolved through scrapping on Orkut. After some time Koushambi discovered that Manish was married. Heartbroken she ended her relation with him, but was threatened by Manish again and again. Koushambi confided to her parents about the incidence and they tried to sort out the problem by talking with Manish. Unfortunately the talks did not help and the police discovered her dead body . After a thorough investigation it was found that Manish had killed her by his service revolver. Manish, who works with the coast guard, has been arrested. Police sources confirm. Meanwhile Manish’s and Koushambi’s profiles have drawn thousands of visitors in the past two days on orkut. It perhaps will not be a very good idea to blame this social networking website. But this incident definitely shows the flipside of social networking on the Internet and the best thing one can do is be careful while using it in order to avoid unpleasant incidents and such mishaps. Koushambi’s ill-fated end puts others on caution The brutal murder of Koushambi Layek refuses to leave the mind. Her cheerful, vivacious and straightforward gaze from her picture on orkut seems to haunt many as we try to figure what exactly went wrong and why did she have to face such an ill-fated end. MANISH THAKUR was arrested by the Police . Was it a case of ‘crime of passion’ or was it the fake posturing over the net on Thakur’s part that lured Koushambi into such a deadly web, one from which she’d never come out. Koushambi Layek, a 24-year old software professional would have never expected that she could have ever faced such a brutal death. Koushambi met Thakur, a navy officer, online two years back and the story goes like this. Manish, in spite of being married lured her to marry him. Koushambi had informed her family, but they advised her against it. Their relationship continued and the police suspect that he might have murdered her because she denied marrying him. Manish tried to convince her several times that he will divorce his wife to marry her. In fact, he had not informed her initially that he was married. Her body was found in a pool of blood in a hotel room in Andheri. They had checked in as Mr. and Mrs. Thakore on May 12. She had been killed on Sunday night and by Monday afternoon the hotel employees found her body. By then Manish had sneaked away. Police confirmed that this murder was preplanned. This is because Manish was already carrying a chopper and a gun with him. They also suspect that he might have shot her in her sleep.
