Hi Angelika,
This is one beautiful and impressive Assassin Bug that is also quite distinctive looking. We did not have any luck in our initial internet search, but we hope to be able to provide you with a species identification before too much time elapses.

Sadly, there are not as many databases for identifying insects from South Asia as there are from North America, Australia and the U.K.

Appears to be something near Brassivola or Bartacus (Harpactorinae), but there are problems with both identities.
Thanks for another ID.
