Nalgonda: A faculty member at a private degree college here allegedly attacked a 23-year-old girl student on Saturday in Nalgonda district with a blade after she rejected his marriage proposal, according to the police. The incident took place at Bandlaguda in Nampally mandal.
Raj Kumar slashed the woman with a blade near her house following an argument, circle inspector Venkat Reddy said. “Raj allegedly tried to slit her throat, but she managed to escape. However, she suffered injuries on her neck and hands. She was taken to a nearby hospital and is said to be out of danger,” the police officer said.
The woman worked as a ‘tele-caller’ in the same college where Raj was a faculty member. He attacked her after she rejected his proposal to marry, she told police. However, Raj, who was arrested, told the police that she had accepted his proposal but suddenly developed cold feet because her parents were opposed to it. He has been booked for attempt to murder and further probe is on.
