A 16-year-old girl was attacked with an axe on her face, allegedly by her neighbour in Delhi's South Campus area today. The teen has been admitted to a hospital with severe injuries where she is undergoing treatment.
The accused is the teen's 20-year-old neighbour Pradeep who was reportedly pursuing the girl. After the girl rejected his advances, he attacked her with an axe this afternoon, police said.
The girl is a student of Class 11 and lives in a slum in the nearby Moti Bagh area. Her father works as a security guard.
