Even as panic prevails after the triple murders in the Silver City by a psycho killer, a woman was allegedly attacked by an unidentified person at Malasahi in the Jobra area here on Sunday night.
The victim Sandhya Tarai was standing near her house around 10 pm when a person, who had covered himself with a shawl, slit her throat with a sharp weapon.
She raised an alarm following which locals tried to chase and nab the attacker. But the assailant managed to escape. The woman sustained minor injuries and was rushed to the SCB Medical College Hospital. Later, she was discharged.
Police have started investigation into the matter. On Monday, city DCP Akhileshwar Singh clarified that the incident has no connection with the triple murders and it was a chain snatching attempt.
