Woman is stabbed to death at K’taka HC

The legal fraternity was in shock Thursday after a 25-year-old advocate was stabbed to death in the Karnataka high court, paying with her life for either rejecting the advances of her alleged paramour or subjected to a murderous fit of jealousy.

Naveena died bleeding profusely from multiple knife wounds to her head, neck and abdomen. She was attacked in full view of fellow advocates, after which her killer Rajappa tried to harm himself, using the same knife to jab his neck and chest, as he was chased by lawyers into the restrooms. He was locked in until the police came.
Rajappa, 27, onetime Naveena’s “close” friend, is in hospital. The young advocate was talking to Rajappa during the lunch break at around 1.50 pm when the young man, whom some say she has been close to for three years, whipped out a small knife and attacked her.

It is an unfortunate event. In the life of a woman, there are always men trying to make them submit and even a courthouse is not a safe place to escape men who pursue, So what is the point in seeking legal protection for a woman who had once been kind to a man and would now like to move on?
