Police in Bengaluru have arrested a man from a co-living paying guest (PG) facility for allegedly barging into a 24-year-old woman’s room and stabbing her after she resisted his attempted s£xual assault.

The accused, Saibabu Chennuru, an engineer who recently befriended the woman, a bank employee, forced his way into her room in the same PG facility around 3 am, stabbed her in the back with a knife, took objectionable photos, and tried to coerce her into s£xual activity.

He threatened to k!ll her if she resisted, according to a police complaint filed by her. 

He also allegedly demanded Rs 70,000, transferred Rs 14,000 from her phone to his account, and threatened to circulate her private photos if she spoke about the incident to anyone. 

The victim, an analyst with American Express, was admitted to Manipal Hospital for treatment and is reportedly out of danger.  

The suspect is currently in police custody. 

The incident comes weeks after an unidentified man broke into a room at a women's paying guest facility in Bengaluru and allegedly s£xually harassed a 23-year-old woman before looting cash.
