A 19-year-old man allegedly repeatedly slashed a 36-year-old woman after she resisted his attempt to rape her in Maharashtra’s Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district, an official said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Accused Abhishek Navpute targeted the woman in the Ghardon area of the district, the official said.<\/p>\n
According to police, Navpute had been stalking the woman for the past some time despite her not responding to his overtures.<\/p>\n
Navpute allegedly tried to strangle and rape the woman when she was working in a field on Sunday. When she fought back, he attacked her with a knife multiple times till she collapsed. The woman suffered about 15 wounds, the official said.<\/p>\n
Assuming that the woman had died, Navpute fled from the spot. Later, the woman’s mother-in-law spotted her and took her to a hospital. The woman became conscious on Monday night and told the police about the attack.<\/p>\n
Navpute was tracked down and arrested from a farm on Tuesday, the official added.<\/p>\n
