In a horrific incident, a woman was stabbed to death by her former boyfriend in the Junagadh district of Gujarat. The incident took place at a busy market in the Daulatpura GIDC area of the district on Monday evening.
The victim has been identified as 30-year-old Bhavna Sonu Goswani. The victim died on the spot.
According to a report in Times of India, the accused identified as Sanjay Pravin stabbed the woman at least 10 times which led to her immediate death.
The report suggests that the accused Sanjay, a resident of Lathi town in Amreli, was angry after the woman allegedly dumped him for another man.
After killing the woman, the accused sat next to her body. Later, the police reached the spot and arrested the accused, who works as a casual labourer.
The victim’s brother Bharat Sheikh has filed a complaint with Junagadh police.
In his complaint, Shaikh wrote that his sister came into contact with the accused after her marriage in 2012-13. Bhavna had then shifted to Lathi from her hometown in Amreli’s Bagasra after the wedding.
“The accused continuously harassed my sister to resume their relationship to which the Bhavna refused,” Shaikh’s complaint stated.
Later, Bhavna met one Sonu Goswami on social media and entered into a live-in relationship with him around nine months back. She later shifted to Junagadh with Sonu.
Sanjay started pestering Bhavna after he came to know about her new relationship.
Sanjay reached Junagadh on Monday and started tracking Bhavna’s movements. As she was on her way to the vegetable market, Sanjay stopped her and asked Bhavna to go with him. As Bhavna refused to accompany him, Sanjay stabbed her multiple times leading to her death on the spot.
