Teenage Girl Brutally Attacked in Chennai: Stalker’s Aggression Escalates.pic/indian express
In a shocking and distressing incident that unfolded on a Wednesday morning in Medavakkam, Chennai, a 16-year-old girl became the victim of a knife attack by a persistent stalker. The assailant, identified as Vasanth from Injambakkam and a college student, carried out the assault after the girl allegedly rejected his unwelcome advances. This horrifying incident has prompted the Pallikaranai police to launch a manhunt for the suspect. The victim, a first-year ITI diploma student, was subjected to a brutal attack, further emphasizing the dire need for stronger measures against stalkers and perpetrators of such heinous crimes.
Terrifying Encounter on a Peaceful Street
On that fateful Wednesday morning, the young girl was on her way to the college, en route to the Medavakkam bus stop. It was then that Vasanth confronted her, and near the local primary health center, unleashed a vicious attack, brandishing a knife he had concealed in his pocket. Eyewitnesses confirmed that the two had been engaged in conversation on Venkatesan Street before the incident took a ghastly turn. The unsuspecting victim suffered injuries to her head, hands, and throat, leaving her in a state of shock and distress.
Bystanders Brave But Threatened
As the terrifying ordeal unfolded, brave onlookers rushed to the girl’s aid, attempting to thwart the attacker’s violence. However, Vasanth, fueled by his aggression, menacingly waved the knife at those who intervened and swiftly fled the scene. The wounded girl was immediately transported to a nearby hospital, where she received critical medical attention. She was subsequently transferred to the Chromepet Government Hospital for further care and evaluation. This shocking incident serves as a stark reminder of the pressing need for enhanced safety measures for women and stricter enforcement against stalkers and potential threats.
A Persistent Stalker’s Dark Descent
A preliminary investigation by the police revealed a chilling pattern of behavior exhibited by Vasanth. For several weeks, he had been relentlessly stalking the young girl, escalating his pursuit after she had firmly ceased communication with him a few months prior. The motive behind the brutal attack appears to be her refusal to entertain his advances. Fortunately, the victim is now out of immediate danger, but the incident underscores the gravity of the issue and the urgent need to address it comprehensively.
