Jilted lover pushes girl off rooftop, victim critical

The Haibowal police registered a case against a youth who had thrown a girl from the rooftop as she refused to accept the proposal of friendship of the suspect.

The suspect was identified as Yuvraj, alias Ish, a resident of the Tibba Road area.

The complainant, Kulwinder Singh, father of the victim, told the police that on October 4, he was present in his office at Aare Wali Gali, Haibowal, when he received a call from his wife Kamaljit Kaur that their daughter Karmanpreet Kaur had been injured and they were taking her to the DMCH.

“When I reached the hospital, my daughter informed us that Yuvraj, who was her friend but later she parted from him, was harassing her. The suspect took my daughter to the rooftop of the house and asked her to be his friend again but she plainly refused the proposal. Afterwards, the suspect turned furious and pushed my daughter from the rooftop with the intention of killing her and fled the scene. My daughter suffered severe injuries and was still undergoing treatment,” he said.

ASI Om Parkash said the girl was still unfit for giving statement to the police and so far an attempt-to-murder case was registered against the suspect and further investigation was launched in the matter. He said a raid was being conducted to nab the youth.
