Hyderabad: A student who was separated from his wife by their families after their marriage earlier this year reportedly attacked her with a blade in Saroornagar. Police said B. Mamatha, 19, and G. Ramesh, got married in January this year after a two-year affair. Mamatha is a nursing student from Medak district while Ramesh from Saagareddy is doing his degree final year.
Their parents came to know of the marriage and separated them, police said.
Mamatha’s parents recently joined her in a nursing course in a college in Kothapet and she was residing in a hostel. Ramesh who came to know that Mamatha was in the city started meeting her. However, he began suspecting that Mamatha was avoiding him and thought that she had entered into a relationship with some other person.
Often they quarrelled on the issue, police said. Enraged, Ramesh came to Mamatha’s hostel on Saturday morning and called her out for a talk. Both of them went to a nearby ground and spoke for more than an hour. Another argument broke out between them and Ramesh slashed her throat with a blade he was carrying. Morning walkers who heard her screams for help came to her rescue and caught Ramesh and handed him over to the police.
Mamatha was rushed to a hospital and her condition was critical. “We suspect that he took this step due to a suspicion on her character,” an investigating official said. At attempt-to-murder case was booked and Ramesh was detained. The case is under investigation.
