MP man befriends 16-yr-old on FB pretending to be a girl, kills her for blocking him

Mumbai: A 24-year-old man from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, has been charged for allegedly killing a girl after she blocked him on Facebook.

According to reports, Amti Yadav, a software engineer, reportedly befriended 16-year-old Priya on Facebook about a year ago, using a fake profile, where he is listed as a woman named Priyanshi.

Once he revealed his true identity to the victim, she cut of all ties with him and reportedly blocked him on Facebook. But by now, he was already in possession of her address and her mother’s number.

Upset over the developments, Amit reportedly stormed into Priya’s flat and attacked her mother with a knife. Priya tried to intervene, but he stabbed her repeatedly killing her on the spot, following which he attempted to kill himself by jumping off the second floor of the building. But he did not succeed in his attempts.

The police have registered a case and are investigating the matter.
