| House of horrors: The house where Suman used to live with her husband Ravindra |
A 26-year-old BPO employee narrowly escaped from getting killed by her husband by using her presence of mind.
Suman (name changed) who works as an operation executive with a city-based BPO, had married her
colleague R Ravindra despite opposition from her parents in April.
The relationship soured soon, as Ravindra used to have frequent fights with Suman over trivial issues. When the problem becomes unbearable, Suman moved to her parents' house.
On December 13, while Suman was waiting for her office cab, Ravindra approached her and forced her into an autorikshaw stating that he need to talk to her. With much resistance, Suman agreed to accompany him to their house in Wilson garden.
The shocker
Ravindra began crying and creating a fuss, and accused her of dumping him, and asking her to give him a chance. Shocked with the development, Suman tried to escape with some excuse. Ravindra became wild and gulped a few tablets saying he wanted to commit suicide.
He ransacked the house and broke a few bottles. Suddenly, he stabbed Suman 's neck with a glass shard, and said that he would kill her and then kill himself.
Ravindra stabbed her a second time on the neck, for which Suman began to plead and said that she would live with him.
Her words had a calming effect on Ravindra, who agreed to take her to the hospital. He took Suman to the Agadi hospital for first aid and then to the Commando Hospital where she reported the incident to the doctor. Based on the information, the Wilson garden police rushed to the hospital and rescued her.
Suman was later sent to her parent's house. The police are on the lookout for Ravindra who is said to be absconding. "We have taken up a case against Ravindra for wrongful restrain and assault, and are investigating," said an official from the Wilson Garden police station.u00a0Suman was not available for comment.
