In a shocking incident, a youth assaulted a girl with lethal weapons for refusing him to love him in the premises of Mandya Medical College on Thursday. The girl, Navya, 20, a Para-Medical course student, received head injuries and was shifted to Nimhans, Bengaluru for further treatment.

Close on the heels of the incident, the public caught hold of the attacker, Paramesh, 23, and gave him a trashing before handing him over to the police. According to police, Navya and Paramesh belong to Yaragalli village in Mandya taluk, and were said to be in love for the last four years. Due to some reason, Navya had stopped talking to Paramesh and also refused to marry him. Agitated over this, Paramesh hatched a plot to teach her a lesson.

On Thursday, he reached the college on a two-wheeler without a registration number. He waited till she came out of the college and as she emerged, from the college building around 4:45 pm with her friends, he pulled her to the nearby shrubs and hit her head with a wooden piece which had a nail fixed to it.

Shocked over the incident, her friends rescued her from more attacks. Navya was given treatment in the emergency ward of the hospital and shifted to Nimhans. T h e a c c u s e d , Paramesh was taken into custody by Mandya West Police who have registered a case.
