In a shocking incident, a visually impaired 17-year-old girl was brutally stabbed to death by a rowdy-sheeter in Andhra Pradesh's Guntur district on Monday.

The incident occurred at Tadepalli, in a locality near the official residence of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.

The accused, identified as Raju, had misbehaved with the girl on Sunday and when the girl complained about this to her parents, they along with some locals had pulled him up. Angry over this, Raju hatched a plan to take revenge.

On Monday, when the girl was alone in her house, the accused barged in and attacked her with a knife. Hearing the victim's cries, neighbours rushed to her house. The girl, who was bleeding profusely, was taken to the Vijayawada government hospital but succumbed on the way.

Raju, who escaped after killing the girl, has reportedly surrendered before police. The accused has a criminal record and was suspected to be high on ganja at the time of attack.

The victim's family demanded that the police take strong action against Raju. Some locals alleged that the police failed to check the illegal activities of the criminal elements in the area.

Earlier, a woman village volunteer has been brutally murdered in Andhra Pradesh's Bapatla district by a man, with whom she had extramarital relations in the past. D Sharada (27) was stabbed to death in front of her house in the Chavali village in Vemuru Mandal of the district.

The woman was cleaning the house when the man, identified as Padma Rao, attacked her with a knife. When she tried to run and save herself, he chased her and stabbed her in the neck, and escaped on his two-wheeler. The victim died on the spot.

The woman's mother complained to the police against Padma Rao. Police registered a case.
