INDORE: In a shocking incident, a youth stabbed a teenaged girl to death in her house.

The victim, Priya Rawat, 16, was stabbed 12 times by the assailant. The incident occurred on Tuesday.

She received fatal injuries and later succumbed in the hospital. The killer, Amit Yadav, 24, an engineering student, is a jilted lover who had befriended the girl on Facebook after creating fake profile where he had initially posed as a woman.

He had later revealed it to Priya. But she snubbed him and and blocked him, which apparently enraged him. On Tuesday, he barged into her house, and attacked her with the knife.

Amit attacked her in the head, face, chest, stomach, until she fell unconscious and later died because of the injuries. Later, he tried to escape, throwing the knife away.

But got injured in the process because he had jumped from the second floor and broke his leg. He was later arrested. The incident occurred in Krishna Apartment in Geeta Nagar of Indore.

Priya was also taken to the hospital but doctors couldn't save her, as the blood loss was heavy. The accused, Amit Yadav hailed from Mhow. According to information, when he knocked, Priya's mother Kiran Rawat opened the door.

He requested Kiran to let him meet her daughter (Priya). However, as soon as Priya saw him, she said that he was a fraud and asked him to go away. But the youth again appeared a bit later and requested Kiran to let him talk to Priya.

Once into the house, he went towards the bathroom. Suddenly, he whipped out a knife in the hand and began attacking Priya. Her mother Kiran was also injured in the stabbing. Priya was critically injured.

The local residents informed police about the incident.  During investigation it was found that Amit had created a fake profile of a girl to befriend Priya. When she found it, she blocked him on Facebook.

However, he kept on stalking her. Initially, he posed as a girl and hence Priya had unknowingly shared information with him. He came to know about her house, family and also her parent's phone numbers.

Later, when she found that it was a fake profile and the youth had other intentions, she spurned her. It is suspected that as she had snubbed him, he nursed the grudge and decided to kill the girl, suspect police. Further investigation is on in the case.

Priya's father is manager at a coaching institute. She was the only child in the family. The accused had told his family members that he was going to face an interview, said police.
