“Ibrahim had allegedly been in a relationship with the woman for the past few years. However, over the last six months, she had reportedly distanced herself from him and stopped responding to his requests. This allegedly led to resentment, prompting him to attack her with a knife while she was at the store,” said Chaderghat police. The suspect was produced before the court and remanded to judicial custody.
