New Delhi: A 19-year-old woman was knifed several times by a man in full view at the Kirbi Place bus stop in southwest Delhi, according to a police officer on Monday. The 20-year-old man later injured himself with the same knife.
The incident was reported to the police around 9:30 p.m. on Sunday by a passerby. “The girl sustained serious injuries to her neck and the left side of her abdomen. A knife was recovered from the scene. Both were hospitalised and are under treatment,” the officer said.
On inquiry, it was revealed that the accused, Amit, and the victim had been friends since last year and had a fallout over some issue. “Both were admitted to DDU Hospital and are under treatment. A case under section 109(1) of the BNS has been registered against accused Amit at Delhi Cantt Police Station and the investigation is under progress,” the officer added.
Meanwhile, a 45-second video, purportedly showing the incident, is circulating on social media. The clip shows the man and the woman sitting on a road divider in a bloodied state, with a crowd of passersby gathered around them.
