Bangalore : A girl in Bangalore was seriously injured after a man attacked her for turning down his proposal of marriage. In a bid to save her modesty, she fought Ravikumar who, along with two his accomplices, waylaid her while she was returning home.

She sustained severe injuries on her hands while trying to escape. Ravikumar sprayed chilli-powder and attacked with a machete.

She had to fight for 10 minutes before a crowd chased away the culprits. However, she made sure that the criminals landed behind bars.

Notably, Ravikumar worked as a tractor driver for the girl's father. He was sacked a few months ago for misbehaving with her.

"Even when I was being attacked, and blood was dripping from my fingers, I only wanted to ensure I did not let him go at any cost. I held on to him till a good number of people had gathered and caught him"
