Mudaga Katamaiya spoke to NDTV about the incident, which has left two schoolgirls injured. The grandfather of a Class 10 girl targeted in a chainsaw attack at a government school in Andhra Pradesh’s Anantapur district has said the family never saw it coming.
The accused is said to be the uncle of the girl he allegedly targeted. Police sources said the attack followed the rejection of his advances. The accused reportedly used to stalk the girl and had proposed to her in the past.
“We as a family never knew that this psycho person had a one-sided love for our daughter. The family has also made a demand of the police. He added that the family is getting financial help from the government. The accused reportedly used to stalk the girl and had proposed to her in the past. “Classes were ongoing. The first period was completed, and the classes were continuing. “The classroom doors are generally kept open. Someone came through that door. Before we could realise what was happening, the incident with the boy took place.”
Katamaiya said the family did not know the accused had a one-sided attachment to the girl. If at all we knew about it, we would have been very careful,” he said. “We want the police to encounter this psycho person who attacked our daughter,” he said. The girl is now out of danger, though she will need more surgeries, according to Katamaiya. “She is now out of danger, but some surgeries will continue still,” he said. “The government is supporting us financially,” he said. The accused is said to be the uncle of the girl he allegedly targeted. Police sources said the attack followed the rejection of his advances. All the children were studying,” the teacher said.
