After Daughter Was Attacked With Sickle, Parents Had Road Accident

Ravali was rushed to hospital with injuries to her neck and head

Hyderabad: It was a Monday that came crashing down on a family of four in Hyderabad.

Early in the morning, M Gopidev and Lalitha received a phone call informing them that their teen daughter had been attacked with a sickle at her college. As they rushed to the hospital where she had been moved, their two-wheeler skidded severely. They were then taken to a different hospital, where their injuries were treated.

A few hours later, they were able to see their daughter, 19-year-old Ravali. She is recovering from injuries to her head, said doctors. The teen was able to speak to the police yesterday to share the details of her gruesome assault.

The man who came rushing at her with a sickle as she was walking into her college had been a friend. But two years ago, he began harassing her. Last month, she filed a police complaint against the man identified only as Pradeep, but the police says he had by then disappeared, so no action was taken.

After gashing her neck and head, he drank poison, and died after he was moved to hospital.

Ravali has a brother.
