Gurugram, Oct 25: A 32-year-old woman was allegedly stabbed 30 times by a stalker at the busy M.G. Road metro station here during rush hour on Monday morning.

pinkiShe received wounds on her face, neck, chest and abdomen and died before she reached the hospital, according to the post-mortem report.

Pinki, who worked at a beauty parlour in Rohini, was on her way to the metro station to catch a train to her workplace around 9 a.m. when the accused approached her from behind with a knife and started stabbing her.

“She had barely walked a few steps after climbing up the stairs to the metro station at Gate No. 2 when the man came from behind and attacked her. As she fell on the floor, he sat on her and continued stabbing her,” claimed an eyewitness who runs a kiosk at the station.

According to the eyewitness, who did not want to be named, the corridor was crowded with people and a few of them even tried to intervene, but the accused brandished the knife at them, warning them to stay away.

“CISF personnel at the station also rushed in but initially no one could get close to him. One of the passers-by then brought a table fan from a shop on the station and hit the accused on the head. He was then caught and beaten up by the people,” the eyewitness said.

The accused, Jitender, was handed over to the police. He is a resident of Rajiv Nagar in Gurugram. He belongs to Uttar Pradesh and runs an auto-rickshaw in the city.

The spot where the murder took place is not covered by closed circuit television cameras, but the woman is seen in CCTV footage walking into the station talking over the mobile phone, said a police officer at the metro station.

Pinki, a resident of Sirhual village, was declared dead at the Civil Hospital. Dr. Deepak Mathur, who conducted the post-mortem, said she had been stabbed “mercilessly” and “aimlessly.”

“She has more than 30 stab wounds, mostly on the chest and the neck. The wounds have been inflicted in different directions,” Dr. Mathur said.

Pinki’s husband, Man Singh, who works at a pantry in the city, said the accused had been stalking her for the past several months. However, no complaint was made to the police.

Surat, Jul 16: Woman police constable Sunita Yadav, who had a confrontation with a minister's son over lockdown violation which led to his arrest here in Gujarat, claimed she has resigned from service. However, a senior police official has denied it.

Prakash Kanani, the son of Gujarat Minister of State for Health Kumar Kanani, and his two friends were arrested on Sunday for allegedly violating the lockdown and night curfew orders in Surat, a COVID-19 hotspot, a senior police official earlier said.

Yadav, who is being hailed on social media for taking action against the minister's son, told news channels on Wednesday that she had put in her papers.

"I have resigned because I did not receive support from my superior officers. I was only doing my duty as a constable. It's the fault of our system that these people (like the minister's son) think they are VVIPs (very very important persons)," she said.

However, a senior police official here denied that she has resigned.

"She has not given her resignation. The inquiry is still on and technically she cannot resign at this juncture," Surat Police Commissioner R B Brahmbhatt said.

Yadav's action had led to the registration of an FIR and arrest of Prakash Kanani and two of his friends for alleged violation of lockdown and curfew norms in Surat city.

The arrests came after a video of a heated exchange between them and Yadav, who pulled up the trio for violation of curfew, surfaced on social media. The trio was later released on bail.

Since the incident, Yadav is being hailed on social media.

While some social media users called her "Lady Singham" (referring to the tough cop in the Hindi film "Singham"), some suggested she contest the 2022 state Assembly polls against Kumar Kanani, who represents Varachha constituency in Surat district.
