They saw Nithina lying down with injuries on her neck and saw Abhishek resting on a bench nearby. Nithina was taken to the hospital in the vehicle that came to the construction site.

‘We came running hearing the cries of the girl. When we came there was blood all over the place. There were deep cut injuries on the girl’s neck. Soon we sent her to the hospital in the vehicle that came that way,’ Biju Mathew, in charge of the electrical contract work of the building, told media.

There was no expression on his face. Abhishek attacked Nithina with a knife used in the college lab. They said the accused had a cut on his right hand at the time of his arrest.
