Man stabs ex-girlfriend in Saket, cabbie’s intervention helps nab him

In a purported video shot by the locals, the woman is seen covered in blood and seeking help, saying, “Please, take me to the hospital.” The clip also showed Pal in blood-stained clothes. He was later arrested.

Police said the woman suffered a total of 12-13 stab wounds on her head, face, neck, thighs and hands. As per the doctors, she is now out of danger after being operated upon. She had a cut below the jaw which tore her artery.

Pal hails from Ghaziabad and works at a private firm in Gurgaon. Police said he had been stalking the woman for months and was threatening her. The woman wanted to end the relationship and had rejected his advances, said police.

Chandan Chowdhary, DCP (South), said, “We received a PCR call around 6.30 am from Lado Sarai. The caller told us that a woman was lying injured after being stabbed by a man. The police reached the spot where the victim was present. Upon inquiry, it was revealed that the accused and the woman were in a relationship for two years.”

Recently, the woman had expressed the wish to end the relationship, which angered the accused who had asked her to meet him near her house.

“They had a fight and after some time, the woman booked a cab. She entered the cab, Pal also entered forcibly. He stabbed her multiple times and she was left bleeding. The cab driver rushed to help the woman and caught the accused,” said an officer.

Pal has been booked in a case of attempted murder and is being questioned by the police.

During investigation, police found out that on September 10, the woman had made a PCR call informing the cops about a man who was standing in front of her house and harassing her. After a police team was rushed to the woman’s house, inquiry revealed that Pal was fighting with her over some borrowed money. “We didn’t take any action against Pal because the woman refused to lodge a case or take any action against him,” added the officer.

On September 27, the accused again broke into her house and allegedly tried to strangle her. Her family has levelled allegations against the police for not taking their complaint “seriously”.
