Incidents of stalkers or jilted lovers taking revenge on young women have been increasing in the state over the past few years. As per the statistics with the state home department, 20 women have lost their lives and 16 others sustained injuries in such attacks since 2016.
The latest victim of revenge attack was a 19-year-old girl at Koottumadom in Perumbavoor, who was hacked by a youngster on 05 Sep.
The accused, Basil, 21, of Iringole, died by suicide hours after the attack. The police say that Alka and Basil were close friends, but she rejected Basil’s proposal which enraged him.
