: After battling for life for two weeks, the 21-year-old teacher who was stabbed by her alleged stalker and his cousin over a dozen times in outer Delhi’s Najafgarh died on Monday.
The incident was reported on January 18.
The main accused, Amit, and his cousin, Basant, had gone to the woman’s residence and allegedly stabbed her in front of her three-year-old niece.
The victim’s family members had claimed that Amit had been pressuring her to marry him despite he being married to someone else.
“Before the attack, she would mostly cry and not tell us much. Once when she broke down, I could not help her enough. Amit stayed at our place most of the time. Not even once did we have an inkling of his evil plans,” said the victim’s sister.
Family protests
Meanwhile, as the news of the woman’s death broke out, her family members and neighbours launched a protest in the area. The mob dispersed only after policemen reached the spot and assured them that accused was behind bars.
