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).

Jharkhand horror: Man kills live-in partner, chops body into 40 pieces
Ranchi (PTI): A 25-year-old man, who works as a butcher, allegedly strangled to death his live-in partner and chopped her body into 40 to 50 pieces in a forested area in Jharkhand’s Khunti district, police said on Wednesday.
The accused, identified as Naresh Bhengra, was arrested.
The matter came to light after around a fortnight after the killing when a stray dog was found with human body parts near Jordag village in Jariagarh police station on November 24.
Bhengra was in a live-in relationship with the deceased, a 24-year-old woman also from Khunti district, in Tamil Nadu for the past couple of years. Sometime back, he returned to Jharkhand, got married to another woman without telling his partner anything and went back to the southern state without his wife to join her.
"The brutal incident occurred on November 8 when they reached Khunti as the accused who had married another woman did not wish to take her home. Instead, he took her to a forest near his house at Jordag village in Jariagarh police station and chopped the body into pieces. The man has been arrested," Khunti Superintendent of Police Aman Kumar told PTI.
Inspector Ashok Singh who investigated the case said the man worked in a butcher shop in Tamil Nadu and was expert in slicing chicken.
“He admitted chopping the body parts of the woman into 40 to 50 pieces before leaving those in the forest for wild animals to feast on. The police recovered several parts on November 24 after a dog in the area was seen with a hand," Singh told PTI.
Singh said that the woman, who was unaware of his marriage, pressured him to return to Khunti. After reaching Ranchi, they boarded a train on November 24 and headed to the man's village.
"Under a plan, the man took her to Khunti in an autorickshaw near his home and asked her to wait. He returned with sharp weapons and strangulated her with her dupatta after raping her. He then cut the body into 40 to 50 pieces and left for his home to live with his wife," Singh said.
The woman, however, had informed her mother that she had boarded a train and would be living with her partner, the police officer said.
Following the recovery of body parts, a bag was also found in the forest with the murdered woman's belongings including her Aadhaar card. The mother of the woman was called at the spot and she identified her daughter's belongings.
"The mother suspected the man behind the crime who after being nabbed by the police admitted to chopping the woman into pieces," the official added.
The incident has sent shockwaves among people in the region, with the Shraddha Walker murder case of 2022 still fresh in their memory.
Walker was killed by her live-in partner who chopped her body into pieces before dumping them in the jungle in South Delhi’s Mehrauli.
