Ghatkesar (Telangana): A HIV positive man was arrested in the Telangana’s Medchal-Malkajgiri district of Telangana for allegedly injecting his blood into a 24-year-old woman after her family called off their marriage, the police said.
Pocharam IT Corridor police inspector Bedada Raju said that the incident took place in Ghatkesar town when the 24-year-old accused allegedly went to the woman’s house with a syringe containing his blood and forcibly injected it into her.
The inspector said that the father proposed getting his daughter married to the accused, who is also their close relative.
“However, as the parents of the accused were suffering from HIV
, he was apprehensive that the accused might also be HIV-positive,” Raju said.
The woman’s father had the accused undergo an HIV test at a laboratory in Uppal six months ago.
“The test results showed that the accused was HIV-positive. As a result, the woman’s family called off the proposed marriage,” the inspector said.
After being rejected, the accused went to the woman’s house with a syringe containing his blood and forcibly injected it into her before fleeing the spot
“The family then took her to a private hospital at Uppal. The woman told her parents that the accused had forcibly injected her with a syringe containing his blood in an attempt to compel her to marry him,” Raju added.
The family lodged a complaint with the Pocharam IT Corridor police two days later and the accused was arrested on Saturday, as reported by Hindustan Times. He was remanded to 14 days judicial custody by a court.
“The woman was subsequently shifted to the Gandhi Hospital for further treatment and medical evaluation. Further investigation is on,” the inspector said.
