Man stabs ex-girlfriend in Mumbai, kills himself by slitting his throat
Mumbai, Oct 24 (PTI): A 24-year-old man attacked his former girlfriend with a knife in Mumbai’s Byculla area on Friday morning, then slit his own throat and died, police said.
Kalachowki resident Sonu Barai targeted Manisha Yadav, also 24, on a road around 11 am, nearly two weeks after the two broke up, an official said.
Yadav, who sustained serious injuries in the attack, is being treated in a hospital, he said.
Barai suspected that Yadav was seeing someone else, which had led to a fight between the two. They eventually ended their relationship, the official said.
On Friday morning, Barai called his former girlfriend to meet, but carried a kitchen knife with him.

When Yadav arrived, Barai stabbed her two to three times. The injured woman ran to save her life and entered a nursing home. However, the man chased her and again slashed her inside the medical facility, the official said.
Others present there tried to intervene, but could not do much as Barai was angry and armed. Just then, someone threw a stone at Barai, which made him realise that he won’t be able to escape, the official said.
Barai slit his throat and died at the spot due to excessive blood loss, the official said.
Yadav, who was grievously injured, was rushed to a nearby hospital, he said, adding that police have registered a case and launched a probe.

NEET student hangs self in Rajasthan's Sikar
Jaipur (PTI): A student preparing for the NEET examination allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself in a rented room in Rajasthan's Sikar on Friday, police said.
According to the police, the student allegedly hanged himself from a ceiling fan using his sister's scarf while one sister was attending coaching classes and the other was in the bathroom.
He had appeared in the NEET UG exam 2026, which was cancelled due to paper leak, they said.
Udyog Nagar SHO Rajesh Kumar said that the deceased, identified as Pradeep Meghwal, was a resident of Kanika ki Dhani village in Jhunjhunu's Gudha Gaudji area.
He had been living in a rented room in Sikar's Jaldhari Nagar area with his two sisters while preparing for NEET over the last three years.
His elder sister later found him hanging and informed the landlord and police after bringing him down, officials said.
The SHO said the body was kept at SK Hospital mortuary, and a postmortem had not been conducted.
The student's father, Rajesh Kumar Meghwal, told police that Pradeep's NEET examination had gone well and the family was expecting him to score around 650 marks.
Former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot expressed grief over the incident and linked it to anxiety among students after reports of irregularities and paper leaks in NEET 2026.
Pilot said repeated paper leak incidents and cancellation of examinations were affecting students' mental health and demanded a time-bound investigation and strict action against those responsible.
