Bhubaneswar: In another twist to the 24-year-old female fashion designing student sustaining bullet injury on her lower limb case, her father on Thursday alleged that she was attacked over jilted love.
As per the girl’s father Bijay Kumar Das, a married man Tuku, who is a tattoo artist by profession, was stalking her for years. When the girl came to Bhubaneswar to study, Tuku also moved to the capital city along with his family.
Though Tuku attempted to woo the girl, she rejected her advances. On the fateful day, she was alone at her mess when Tuku along with his associate Asish Kumar Nayak entered her house and threatened her with the gun.
As she took it lightly and mocked them for threatening her with a toy gun, Nayak shot her on her leg, said Das. He further alleged that Nayak attacked his daughter on the instruction of Tuku’s wife.
Earlier on February 10, it had been stated that the girl had shot herself accidentally when Nayak had come to meet the girl at her house at Bajrang Vihar under Infocity police limits.
While Nayak had been arrested on the said day, Tuku was arrested today based on the complaint of the girl’s father.
