"The 22-year-old girl who sustained multiple stab wounds was admitted to Kanshiram hospital," said Superintendent of Police (south), Ashok Verma. Here's more.
According to the police, Ankit was in an affair with the girl for the past several years, but over the last few months, the girl started ignoring him after which he planned to end his life after eliminating her. "Ankit stabbed the girl multiple times while she was on way to home (from a school where she was a teacher)," said SP Verma.
"Ankit fled from the spot and walked to his house where he attacked his mother, Savitri Pal, repeatedly with a stick causing grievous injuries on her head. He later locked himself in a room and hanged himself from the ceiling hook," SP Verma.
