Tension gripped Rajasthan’s Banswara, where a girl student was violently killed inside her house on Wednesday. The accused is a youth who is said to be the girl’s former classmate and the blood on the floor of the victim’s house reflects on the nature of the crime.

The arrested youth, Jagadish Banjara, was reportedly in a one-sided love affair with 18-year-old Vaishali and attacked her with a sharp object. The murder took place when the girl’s father, Pinkesh Sharma, was present in the house and the youth scaled the wall of the balcony, where the girl was hanging clothes to dry.
