LUCKNOW: A girl, in her early 20s, sustained fatal injuries after a youth stormed into her house and threw her down from the rooftop in Gudamba police station area, on Thursday.
The accused also attacked the girl’s maternal uncle, injuring him on his head before fleeing the scene.
A profusely bleeding girl was immediately admitted to a private hospital with the help of neighbours who came for help after hearing the noise.
A case has been registered and efforts to nab the miscreant, identified as Shiva aka Dhruv, was on, said the police.
The miscreant was harassing the girl for a long time.
Recently, she complained about the same to her family. “On Thursday, furious Shiva entered our house and thrashed me for objecting to his moves,” said her maternal uncle.
“Shiva later assaulted my niece and threw her down from the roof. She suffered serious injuries on her head and was admitted to a hospital. I also suffered injuries in my head,” he said.
Police sources said the accused was a jilted lover and had reached the victim’s house to express his feelings.
But, the girl refused to talk. This led the youth to lose patience and pick up a fight with her.
