In a tragic incident in Hubballi, Karnataka, a 20-year-old woman named Anjali Ambigera was fatally stabbed allegedly by Girish Sawant, a 23-year-old man, after she rejected his romantic advances. The heartbreaking incident occurred early on Wednesday while Anjali was asleep in her room, where Sawant reportedly barged in and carried out the fatal attack.
According to Anjali's sister, Girish had been harassing Anjali for some time, expressing his love for her despite her rejection. He even allegedly threatened her with a similar fate as Neha Hiremath, another victim of a fatal stabbing by her former classmate, which had caused widespread outrage.
Expressing frustration and grief, Anjali's sister revealed that they had informed the police about the threats previously, but no serious action was taken. She lamented the lack of intervention, stating that their concerns were not pursued, leading to the devastating outcome.
