New Delhi:A 22-year-old jilted youth was arrested for stabbing a girl in Adarsh Nagar area on Jan 2 after she refused to take their relationship forward, Delhi police said on Wednesday. Police said both were friends and were recently involved in a fight. On January 2, Sukhvinder, (22), stabbed his friend multiple times before fleeing from the spot.

The suspect was from Ambala district of Haryana. The victim told the police, that she was intercepted by Sukhvinder who is known to her when she was on her way to coaching. "Since I knew him, I did not expect him to attack me. He took me to a street insisting that he had something to discuss with and then stabbed me," police quoted the victim as saying.

"He wanted our friendship to continue further, but I was not willing to have a relationship with him. We were friends once. But we fell apart after sometime. Ever since I decided to end the friendship, he had been asking me to revive it. When we met, he reiterated his demand to make amends, which I again refused," she told the police on the motive behind the attack.

It maybe recalled a 20-year-old-girl student was stabbed to death by another student at Presidency college in Bengaluru's Yelahanka on Monday afternoon.
