The boy stabbed the girl in front of her house with a knife and slit her throat.
After the horrific murder of a young Infosys employee by a stalker in Chennai, a youth in Telangana allegedly killed an 18-year-old girl after she rejected his marriage proposal. The incident happened in Bhainsa town of Adilabad district in Telangana today, police said. The incident comes a few days after the murder of an Infosys techie Swathi by a stalker.
The 21-year-old Mahesh was in love with the girl, who was his neighbour, around two years ago, but the girl's family advised her against this and she had rejected his marriage proposal recently, Adilabad District Superintendent of Police Vikramjit Duggal said. "Mahesh today stabbed the girl in front of her house with a knife at around 2.30 PM and slit her throat. She died on the spot," Duggal said.
"The girl's family had arranged her marriage with another man and she was to get married soon," he added. But the boy did not want her to get married anyone else.
According to NDTV, the police had brokered between the two families.
"A murder case was registered at Bhainsa Police and the accused was taken into custody", the police officer said, adding investigations are underway.
A few says ago, 24-year-old IT professional from Chennai was found murdered at Nungambakkam railway station, triggering an outrage in civil society and among political parties. The victim, Swathi, employed with IT major Infosys, was allegedly hacked to death by her stalker on the platform while she waiting to board a suburban train on her way to office around 6.30 AM on June 24.
Her body remained at the Nungambakkam station, where she was found murdered with cut injuries on Friday last, for two and a half hours and "passengers remained mute witnesses."
The Madras High Court lambasted the Police for not taking any steps for nearly two hours after the murder even to cover up the body of the woman.
