A 21-year-old architecture student was attacked by her distant relative at Vattinagulapally under Gachibowli police station here in the wee hours of Thursday.
Police said that around 1.30 a.m. the accused Prem Singh (21), an engineering dropout, sneaked into the house of the victim when everyone was fast asleep and attacked her with a knife while she was in the study room. “The girl tried to resist, he inflicted knife injuries on her leg and hand. She started shouting, as a result her parents entered the room, caught Prem and alerted the neighbours, who in turn roughed him up before handing him to the police,” an officer said.
While the girl was rushed to Continental Hospital, Prem was taken to KIMS Hospital for immediate medical assistance.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
