Pollachi: An unknown attacker stabbed a 29-year-old woman on her face in Pollachi on Tuesday night. Police suspect the incident to be fallout of an illicit personal relationship.
Police said on Wednesday that tragedy struck Susie, a divorcee and daughter of a 58-year-old dentist of Venkat Ramana street in Pollachi, when the miscreant attacked her as she was returning home from her tailoring shop.
A stalker riding a bike had followed Susie, stabbed her in a deserted area and sped away before members of the public could even notice the incident, police said. Susie fell unconscious at the spot and she was later admitted to a private hospital here.
Susie, after being divorced from her husband Prem Nath, allegedly developed intimacy with a 40-year-old Pollachi-based businessman, Anwar Sadhathkhan, police said.
However, she began avoiding her friend recently after allegedly developing friendship with another man from Tirupur, police said.
This had led to a wordy duel with Sadhathkhan, who allegedly warned her to stop talking to her ‘new boyfriend’, police said, adding, Susie, however, ignored the warnings and continued with her new relationship.
“We have lodged a complaint; we suspect Susie’s old boyfriend who is absconding to be involved in the attack,” said a police official. They are waiting for Susie to regain consciousness to enable begin the investigations in the case.
