A disturbing incident in Korba, Chhattisgarh, has left a young woman injured after being stabbed by her ex-boyfriend. The attack occurred on Saturday, June 7th, at Dingapur Riksha Para. The victim and her mother had gone to Rahul Sarathi’s, the ex-boyfriend’s, residence to request he leave their daughter alone, which led to a physical fight. In the ensuing struggle, the mother sustained injuries while attempting to protect her daughter.
The Rampur police station is handling the case. The ex-boyfriend, Rahul, had a history of visiting the girl’s home. He was known to find fault with her and resort to physical violence due to unfounded suspicions. The girl ended the relationship after a year due to his behavior, but Rahul persisted in his harassment. The victim says Rahul threatened them even after being released from jail.
The minor girl testified that Rahul regularly came to her house, verbally abused her, and assaulted her. He claimed that since his reputation had been tarnished in the neighborhood and at home because of her, she could not leave him and belong to someone else. The girl also mentioned that Rahul had previously attacked her face, which required stitches. This time, the attack resulted in chest injuries.
Rahul was unemployed. He has issued further threats of violence, promising to harm the girl after his release from jail, asserting that she would not be allowed to be with anyone else. Rahul’s father is employed by the health department. The victim has multiple prior injuries. The police have registered a case based on the family’s complaint and are currently investigating.
