Television actor Malvi Malhotra was attacked and stabbed by a man named Yogesh Mahipal Singh, who identified himself as a producer. Now, she has sought justice from NCW (National Commission for Women) chairman Rekha Sharma and help from the actor Kangana Ranaut.
She was stabbed thrice by the accused Yogesh on Monday night in the Versova area of Andheri. The incident took place around 9pm when Malvi was returning home from a café. According to police, the accused Yogesh stopped her on the way and asked her why she had discontinued talking to him. It gradually led to an argument between them and the accused stabbed Malvi with a knife in the abdomen and on both hands and fled the scene.
Inspector police station’s senior inspector Raghvendra Thakur said in a statement, “We have registered an FIR against Singh under various Indian Penal Code sections, including 307 (attempt to murder), and are conducting an investigation into the case.”
As per the Mumbai Mirror report, the cops have got hold of the CCTV footage of the area and have also gained crucial information about Singh for the same.
Malvi has informed the cops that she had connected with the accused over Facebook for work and had met him only once. She also informed that she has known him for the last one year and that he wanted to marry her but she rejected the proposal.
She has been admitted to Mumbai’s Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital. The report suggests that her health condition is now stable.
