Hyderabad, October 29: A 21-year-old man allegedly stabbed a woman in Hyderabad in an apparent revenge for declining his proposal for a romantic relationship. The incident took place at Vattinagulapally village late on Wednesday night. The accused, identified as Prem Singh, was caught and thrashed by Rookie Singh's family members after he had attacked her. Both are undergoing treatment in different hospitals. Jilted Lover in Hyderabad Stabs Woman at Her House in Bowenpally, Later Stabs Himself With Same Knife.

Rookie was taken to a hospital in Gachibowli. When the police were informed,  they reached the spot and sent Prem to a nearby hospital and then to a private hospital. Rookie is a B Arch student, while Prem is a degree student. In her statement, Rookie said she would speak to Prem, who is a distant relative of her, occasionally and was never in relationship with him.

"She said that they spoke occasionally, but in the last one month she began to avoid Prem after she felt he was trying to take advantage of her. This perhaps upset him," Inspector G Suresh was quoted as saying. Police have booked Prem under Section 307 (attempt to murder) of the Indian Penal Code. Both Rookie and Prem are said to be out of danger.
