New Delhi, October 20: Prachi Malik, who was stabbed at least 20 times by a jilted lover in Delhi, has recounted what she had to experience and wishes that the culprits never walks out of jail. Prachi Malik was attacked by one Gaurav Pal in a busy street  at Lado Sarai in south Delhi in the wee hours of October 10 while she was walking towards her cab to go to work. Malik's hands sustained significant injuries as she raised them to shield her eyes during the attack. Pal had threatened Malik and said he would come and attack her again if she survived.

Prachi Malik who was released from hospital on October 18 narrated her harrowing experience to Times Of India. She said that Pal had snatched her phone when she was walking towards her cab while talking to the driver over the phone. Assuming he was a thief, some people caught him. However, they released him once Malik had got her phone back. But, Pal followed her and attacked her after some time. He pulled her hair and tried to grab her laptop.
