Spurned, woman attacks ex-lover; arrested

A young woman was arrested for allegedly attacking a software employee at Bachupalli area here apparently after he married another female, police said on Friday.

Ramya, who was a former classmate of K Pratap while studying diploma course, had earlier complained to Chandanagar police accusing the man of marrying another woman after being in love with her, they said.

“She went to the house of Pratap on the morning of November 27 on the pretext of discussing the case with him and suddenly attacked him with a knife, inflicting injuries on his private parts,” an Investigating Officer said based on the complaint lodged by Pratap, who works in Hitec city.

Following the complaint, Dundigal police booked a case against the woman under section 324 (voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means) of IPC and arrested her yesterday, the IO said.

Pratap was treated at a hospital here and later discharged.
