Anil asked to relocate their car as it was obstructing movement of the car of his new master. Kaveri's mother was about to give him the car keys to relocate when Kaveri, who was in the house, also came and told the driver to leave and she will relocate her Wagon R car.
“I was at some distant when I witnessed some scuffle at a vacant plot where residents park their cars. Kaveri was on driving seat and the driver Anil was attacking her with a knife. He had almost slit her throat when two students who passing through the area for their tuition classes witnessed the attack and shouted for help. The attacker fled from the spot. Kaveri even tried to resist the attack,” said Akshay, an eyewitness.
“I immediately ran towards parking area and rushed her to Max hospital in Saket. However, neighbours informed her mother and police about the incident,” he added.
