A 'spurned lover' is accused of beheading a 17-year-old girl in broad daylight in front of horrified students on a college campus.Vijendra Kumar, 20, waited for pretty Khushboo Kumari outside St Xavier's College in Ranchi, north east India, where she had been sitting exams.
When Miss Kumari emerged from the exam hall, Kumar allegedly dashed up and hacked off her head with a dagger outside the headteacher's office, before being overpowered by other students.
It is believed that Kumari was studying a course at Ranchi Women's College. Kumar was studying engineering in Jamshedpur, 80 miles from Ranchi.
Kumar told police that the pair were in love and had agreed a suicide pact, although police believe the young man had developed a one-sided obsession.
According to local reports, Kumar told police 'Since our parents were not in favour of our marriage, we had decided to die.
'As per our decision, after killing her I was to kill myself. But I was overpowered by others.'
Police spokesman Praveen Singh said: 'We still don't know if she was in love with him. An inquiry is ongoing. Soon we will come to know the truth.' Read More
