Jilted lover slits girl’s throat
In a continuing spree of attacks on girls in the name of love, a 20-year-old girl was attacked by a youth, reported to be her lover, on Thursday evening in Gachibowli for spurning his offer of marriage.
Hyderabad: In a continuing spree of attacks on girls in the name of love, a 20-year-old girl was attacked by a youth, reported to be her lover, on Thursday evening in Gachibowli for spurning his offer of marriage.
The girl who has been admitted to Continental Hospital in Nanakramguda with severe wounds on her throat reported to be critical. According to police, Dinesh, a native of Tenali of Guntur district, and Divya are classmates and were in love for about four years. The boy had insisted Divya to marry him, but the latter refused.
Snubbed by this, Dinesh allegedly slit her throat with a razor blade. Even as the two were engaged in a conversation, the boy pounced on her and cut her throat.
Later, realising his mistake, he rushed the girl to the hospital saying that she got injured in an accident, but the hospital authorities did not buy his statement and informed the cops who in turn swung into action and arrested Dinesh. However, doctors attending at the hospital said she will be kept under observation for 48 hours before deciding what to do.
“The girl has seven to eight deep cut marks on her back and also on her face, lips and neck regions. Though she is breathing normally, her condition is reported to be critical,” they said. Police registered a case under Section 307 (attempt to murder) of the IPC and arrested Dinesh. Further investigation is underway.
