MUMBAI: A 26-year-old man was arrested for allegedly stabbing his former girlfriend in the abdomen on a busy road at Saki Naka on Saturday evening, after she refused to continue the relationship. As the incident took place barely 100m from her residence, the 22-year-old woman staggered home and her father, an autorickshaw driver, rushed her to Rajawadi Hospital. She was later shifted to Sion hospital, where she had a surgery on Sunday.
The accused, Arjun Singh, surrendered before Saki Naka police on Sunday morning.
Until a few years ago, Singh used to live in Kurla, not far from the victim’s Saki Naka residence. “They were in a relationship about four years ago and she even moved in with him,” said a police officer. “They lived together for more than a year. But as Singh was addicted to liquor and drugs and could not keep a permanent job, she walked out on himand moved back in with her parents,” he added.
