A 22-year-old woman was stabbed by her lover, Mahesh in Andhra Pradesh's Chandragiri town on Saturday, police said.
The woman residing on the RF road in the town, who had been in love with Mahesh for the past three months, became the target of his aggression when she did not respond to his repeated phone calls, said police.
