CHANDIGARH: A 27-year-old ‘jilted lover’ stabbed a 22-year-old girl whom he wanted to marry and also attacked her father at Butrela village here on Friday.
The girl, Sonia, is currently battling for her life at the Post Graduate Institute on Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), while the youth, Rahul alias Sonu, has been arrested by the police.
The accused allegedly reached the girl’s house in an inebriated state with a marriage proposal. As the proposal did not find favour, Rahul attacked the girl’s father with a baton when they were sitting in the verandah. When the victim tried to intervene Rahul allegedly stabbed her three to four times with a knife, which he was carrying, in the back and stomach. Sonia was immediately rushed to the hospital, where her condition is stated to be critical.
Meanwhile, the accused managed to escape from the spot but was later apprehended by the police. SHO Charanjit Singh said Sonia was the daughter of a hawker and had known Rahul for more than a year. Rahul was managing a printer shop just under the girl’s house at Butrela.
“Rahul was confronted by Sonia’s father Yashpal when he came up with the marriage proposal, the SHO added. This is the second time when Rahul got involved in a scuffle because of the girl. Earlier also he had entered into a brawl and had sustained head injuries in the process. Rahul has been booked for attempt to murder under the relevant sections of the IPC.
