Love turns into hate

Love turns into hate. There are a number of successful movies made with this plot in Bollywood  and Tollywood movie worlds. Box office hit movie Dur is one of such Hindi films starring Bollywood top hero Sharukh Khan. In most of the said films, the theme moves around the dejected and spurned lovers developing hatred and attacking their girl friends for rejecting their offers for love. 

True to the filmy style, some Indian youngsters are taking to path of revenge killing their lovers in some cases and attacking and injuring them severely in some cases. The latest in the series of such episodes took place on Wednesday at Vijayawada town, the abode of Goddess Durga. 

Sandeep, 23, an engineering final year student of KL Engineering Collage attacked her college mate Ms Meena Kumari, 21, at her home with a knife severely injuring her at neck. Meena Kumari, now battling for life at a Government hospital at Vijawayada, is a third year student of Engineering at the same college. Totally dejected on being rejected of his offer of marriage, he went to her house in he morning hours, dragged her on to a cot, made her lie down and pierced her neck with a sharp knife. When neighbours tried to intervene, they were also threatened by him. Later on, he also injured himself with the same knife. Sandeep is now in police custody.  

In another similar incident on the same day, a 17 year old plus two college student was attacked with knives by a rowdy for spurning his love at a village near Adoni town in the Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh. At Vijayawada town, such incidents are recurring year after year and the people of the town  are terrified to send their daughters to colleges. 

This type of attacks is not new to the town bubbling always with good business activity. Earlier, one pharmacy student Ms Ayesha Meera was brutally raped and murdered on 7 December 2007 near the college hostel and the culprits are not traced till now. On 21 June 2004, an MCA student Ms Sri Lakshmi was attacked and killed in her in class room while she was taking her examination. The reason was that she rejected the love of her killer.  

Similar incidents have been regularly taking place in and around Vijayawada and in some other districts of the state with frequent intervals. Now the point is whether these incidents are becoming the plot for Bollywood or Tollywood writers or are the youngsters are copying incidents from the movies?  Whatever it is, the parents of girls want the police to put a full stop for such incidents by awarding maximum punishment to the accused.
