Woman injured in knife attack during rent dispute in Attapur

Hyderabad: A young woman was injured in a knife attack during a clash between two groups over a rental dispute in Attapur on Sunday, November 10, 2024.
According to the police, the incident occurred at a house in Hasan Nagar, Attapur. The victim, a tenant, had reportedly been residing in the house for several days without paying the rent. The landlord, frustrated by the non-payment, had resorted to cutting off the electricity supply to the house.
A heated argument ensued between the two parties, escalating into a physical altercation. During the clash, the victim sustained knife injuries to her hand and head. She was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.
The Attapur police have registered a case and are investigating the matter further.
In a separate incident on August 28, 2024, a woman was fatally stabbed by her partner in Gopanpally, Hyderabad. The victim, a beautician from Bengal, had ended the relationship with the accused, Rakesh from Bidar, Karnataka.
Rakesh, however, persisted in pursuing her and demanded marriage. When she refused, he attacked her with a knife, killing her on the spot. Three of her friends who intervened were also injured in the attack.
After the attack, Rakesh attempted to end his life by electrocution in Kanakamamidi village.
