Tuesday, a Pune man beat a female acquaintance of his with a stick because she wouldn’t date him. The incident took place in Pune, Maharashtra’s Sadashiv Peth area.
The accused and the victim both had the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) exams coming up.
The victim said that, the accused was her friend. ‘The accused was my friend. I denied his proposal to be in a relationship with him. That’s when he started threatening me. He used to call. He used to beat me outside my college and used to follow me because I denied his proposal,’ the victim said.
She added, ‘I also complained to his family but they didn’t take any action. Today he attacked me with a sickle because I told his family. I have injuries on my hand and stitches on my head. I was going to college when he asked me to talk for 5 mins. I denied that’s why he attacked me. People caught him and assaulted him, still he escaped and again attacked me.’
The woman started running for her life after the attack. Leshpal Khibage, a different man, stepped in and interfered when he saw the man chasing after the girl with a sickle.
Leshpal grabbed the sickle and stopped the accused from stabbing the girl in the head as he prepared to flee.
The accused was taken into custody.
