A 30-year-old woman was allegedly stabbed to death by her former partner inside a private company’s office in Punjab’s Mohali on Thursday evening. The accused later attempted to take his own life by inflicting knife injuries on himself, police said.
The incident took place at an office near Bestech Mall in Phase 11, Sector 66, Mohali. The victim, identified as Dimple, a resident of Patiala, and the accused, Harvinder Mann alias Harry, were colleagues at a private packers and movers company and had been working there for nearly three years.
Victim, Accused Were In Relationship
According to preliminary investigations, the two were previously in a relationship but had separated around six months ago. Police said the accused had been struggling to cope with the breakup, while the woman had distanced herself from him.
Officials said Dimple was at work when Harvinder arrived at the office. An argument reportedly broke out between the two, following which the accused allegedly attacked her with a knife, stabbing her multiple times.
Police Access CCTV Footage
The assault triggered panic among employees present at the office. CCTV footage of the incident reportedly shows the accused repeatedly attacking the woman while staff members looked on. Despite their presence, colleagues were unable to stop the assault.
After attacking the woman, the accused allegedly turned the knife on himself in an apparent suicide attempt.
Both were rushed to a private hospital in critical condition. Doctors declared Dimple dead on arrival, while the accused remains hospitalised and is said to be in a critical condition.
The office remained closed on Friday as police continued their investigation into the incident. Authorities are examining CCTV footage and recording statements of witnesses to establish the sequence of events.
