condition in the city and vanishing fear of police, a jiltedlover
attacked a teenage girl with sharp-edged weapon in the broad daylight
in Gomtinagar . The 17-year-old victim was taken to Ram Manohar Lohia
hospital where she died during the treatment. The assailant was
overpowered by the local people and handed over to police.
On Monday morning, the victim Komal along with her elder sister Mohini
(19) was walking up to a local photo studio in Vishal Khand area . The
sisters have been staying with their mother and elder brother Ravi in
a rented accommodation in Digdiga area of Gomtinagar. Their father
stays in Gonda, the native place of the family and works as a domestic
help. Mohini had passed out of school and was exploring options for
higher studies. Komal had just had appeared for her class X exam this
year from a school in Narhi area. Her mother asked her to get passport
size photograph taken as it was required while filling up forms for
various institutes offering higher studies.
The sisters left their residence around 10.15am and went to a photo
studio located in the neighbourhood near ShankarChauraha (prominent
intersection bordering Vishal Khand and Vikas Khand between Gomtinagar
police station crossing and Dayal Paradise roundabout).
Assailant Kamal Tiwari (20) was known to the younger sister and was
following the duo. She had been avoiding Tiwari for the past two
weeks, an inconsolable Mohini told TOI outside the hospital ward where
her sister passed away later. Tiwari, a contractual painter had taken
a room on rent in the neighbourhood six months back,Ravi said. Tiwari
stayed in the same block as the girl and the two became friends. When
Komal's family raised objections, she started avoiding Tiwari.
He tried to confront her on various occasions but was not able to
convince her. On Monday, he decided to attack the girl, said
Vidyasagar Mishra, circle official of Gomtinagar police. "Tiwari
wanted to marry the girl but she had asked for more time to come to a
decision due to family pressure," added Mishra.
Tiwari confronted her near the photo studio and she told him in clear
words to lay off. He was carrying the chopper and struck on her neck
with it. She started bleeding profusely and collapsed on the road
within moments. The locals overpowered Tiwari and informed the
Gomtinagar police about the incident.
The injured girl was rushed to Lohia hospital and admitted to the
emergency ward for treatment but the wound being lethal, she died
within two hours of the incident. Police registered a case against
Tiwari under murder charges at the behest of the elder sister, an
eyewitness of the incident.
