Man held for stabbing Manipuri woman

A 31-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly stabbing a Manipuri woman last evening near her house in Dwarka Sector 22 in southwest Delhi.
The accused identified as Rohit Francis had attacked the girl with an associate last evening.
He was a driver in the construction company in Gurgaon where the victim Silvia Vaiphei (30) used to work.
"Vaiphei worked in the accounts department of the company and she had caught Francis submitting false bills to the office. On her complaint, he was sacked. The man held a grudge against her for this and attacked her last night to take revenge," said a police official.

Francis knew her residence as he had dropped her there several times. Vaiphei had also quit the job sometime later.
Vaiphei, who lives with her sister and brother-in-law in Dwarka Sector 22, had gone to the market around 6 pm when the two men stabbed her and fled the spot.
Francis has been booked for attempt to murder and efforts are on to nab his associate, police said.
