FollowIn a shocking incident in Moodabidri, Dakshin Kannada district, a young man attacked a student with scissors after a love failure. The altercation occurred at Alvas College early yesterday morning, where the accused, identified as Manjunath from Tumkur, reportedly took drastic action due to personal grievances.
Manjunath, who had studied alongside the victim during their Pre-University College (PUC) days, had recently travelled from Tumkur to Moodabidri to meet her. His anger stemmed from the fact that the young woman had not responded to his messages, and he had been unsuccessful in arranging a meeting with her despite numerous attempts.
