A communist youth wing activist was arrested for attempting to kill a girl by pouring petrol over her. The incident happened in the night at Pramadam in Pathanamthitta district. Pramadam native and an active DYFI leader Rajesh was arrested by the police.
Rajesh, who befriended the girl through Facebook, reached her house at night and doused her with petrol. The girl’s mother rushed to her daughter but was also doused in the fuel.
When Rajesh tried to set the fire using the lighter, the girl’s father came rushing and prevented him from lighting. He also snatched the lighter from Rajesh hands.
The girl’s marriage was fixed a few days ago.
