According to the prosecution, on October 26, the accused accosted the victim on a road and tried to talk to her but she refused. Singh then allegedly took out a knife and assaulted her 3-4 times on her abdomen, hand and back.
“Needless to say that the applicant/accused has assaulted the complainant over the vital part in which his abdomen etc and tried to give more blows but she tried her level best to avoid the same in which she sustained the injuries to her hands but any how she succeeded to restrain the accused to give blows to her vital parts otherwise the present applicant/accused was every intention to kill the complainant,” the court said.
