He was reportedly in a relationship with woman belonging to the same community named Saaina, who resided at the Deshpande Nagar in Hubbali. They have been together for two years but the girl had recently distanced herself from Imtiyaz.
Enraged because of her avoidance Imtiyaz arrived at Deshpande Nagar with an intent to kill Saaina. Covering his face with a cloth, he attacked her neck 3-4 times with a billhook/machete.
A passerby named Manjunath who was coming towards the spot in the bike came to the rescue of Saaina while other bystanders stood and filmed the act.
Police have taken Imtiyaz into custody and have booked a case. The woman has been admitted to a hospital and is currently undergoing treatment.
Not in Pakistan, but in India. In Karnataka's Hubballi.
