An alleged jilted lover, who is an Army man, reportedly attacked a postgraduate student of the Central University of Jammu with a blade on the Jammu-Lakhanpur national highway on Friday.

The student, who is pursuing master’s in mathematics from the CUJ, Raya Suchani, was admitted to District Hospital, Kathua, after she received injuries on her arms and body. She was shifted to Government Medical College and Hospital in Jammu on Saturday.

The police have appointed an investigating officer to probe the case.

The female student, who is a resident of Lachhipur village in Kathua district, alleged that she was “thrashed” and then “kidnapped” by the Army man in a Mahindra Bolero from the Raya Suchani area.

She alleged that the Army man had also been harassing her and her family. The Army man belongs to the Marheen area, a few kilometres from the victim’s village.

“He thrashed me several times before pushing me into his car. He tried to rape me and inflicted grievous injuries on my arms. He inscribed his name on my one arm with a blade. He tortured and threatened me that he will harm my brother and sister if I complained to the police,” the victim told reporters at District Hospital, Kathua.

As per initial investigation, the Army man had reportedly proposed to the victim, but as she turned down his proposal, he allegedly started harassing her.

The victim had complained to his parents but they refused to intervene.

“On Monday, I was on my way to collect a project report when he came to the Raya Suchani area and forcibly pushed me into his car. On reaching Kootah Morh on the highway, he pushed me out of his car but again pulled me inside and dropped me at Samba,” she said, adding, “I took a bus and reached the residence of my aunt in Vijaypur (in Samba district).”

Station House Officer, Vijaypur police station, Inspector Rakesh Bamba said an investigating officer was looking into the case and it would be premature to comment on the issue.
