The accused Ravi Kumar (30) who was fleeing from the spot after "attacking" the woman was immediately caught by locals and handed over to the police, they said.
A friend of the woman, who was along with the victim during the incident told reporters that her friend had told her that she was being "tortured" by one Ravi in the name of love, though she had told him not to harass her as she was already married and not to ruin her marriage with his proposals.
