B'luru: Jilted lover stabs 17-year-old girl near college for avoiding him after parent's disapproval
Bengaluru: A 28-year-old man, identified as Chetan DN, allegedly attacked a 17-year-old pre-university student with a knife near her college in Ramanagara, and subsequently abducted her in an SUV on Monday morning.
The incident unfolded as concerned citizens hurled stones at his vehicle while police rapidly pursued him, ultimately leading to his arrest.
The incident transpired around 9 am, when Chetan DN, a resident of Dalimba village near Sathanur, approached the college where the victim, also from the same village, was studying. The victim's parents had reportedly expressed disapproval of their relationship due to differing castes, and the girl had been avoiding Chetan after their warning.

Chetan, who worked as an SUV driver at a factory, confronted the girl near her college. When she declined to enter his vehicle, he resorted to attacking her with a knife. The girl suffered injuries on her shoulder, hands, and back, resulting in severe bleeding. Panicked students witnessed the incident and scrambled for safety. Some locals and students tried to intervene, but Chetan forcibly placed her in his SUV and sped away, despite the onlookers throwing stones at his vehicle.
Alerted authorities initiated a police chase, causing Chetan to navigate the town before attempting to evade capture by heading towards Channapatna. With exit routes blocked, he circled back to Ramanagara, ultimately taking the victim to a private hospital in the town. The entire ordeal lasted approximately 45 minutes.
Upon reaching the hospital, Chetan was apprehended by the police. During interrogation, he confessed that he was driven by anger due to the girl's avoidance. Authorities have registered cases of attempted murder and kidnapping against him. The victim remains in critical condition and is currently in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
