There has been a steep rise in the number of crimes committed against women in the nation. Even as the whole country is up in arms against the horrifying rape of a medical student in Delhi, Divyajyothi, a 9th class student, was attacked and almost murdered by a stranger, as the man tried to slit her throat. The crime occured at Narsipatnam in Visakhapatnam district.
The police speculate that the attacker had probably been following her for a while, and knew her schedule.
Divyajyothi, who was admitted to the hospital immediately, is now stable, say doctors.
