Nagpur: An alleged peeping tom, Kisna Sonekar, tried to strangle a 40-year-old woman on Friday at an apartment in Koradi to avenge humiliation after she caught him peeping inside her bedroom and also warned him with the help of some people around three days ago.
Sonekar got injured after jumping from the second floor when the woman raised an alarm.
It’s learnt that the woman was alone when Sonekar had gone to the second floor and peeped inside her room.
The startled woman had raised an alarm and chased him till the ground floor before intercepting him with the help of neighbours.
Sonekar, a labourer who worked at Koradi thermal power station, was warned by the woman and neighbours before let off.
Senior inspector Krishna Shinde of Koradi police station said there was no intimation to the police after the first incident.
“The FIR was filed immediately after the incident was reported.
The accused is recuperating at hospital from injuries sustained while attempting to flee,” he said.
It’s learnt that Sonekar, under influence of liquor, had gone back to the woman’s house and barged inside the room as soon as she had opened the door after responding to the doorbell.
He had tried to strangle her but she managed to free herself and raise an alarm.
Sonekar sneaked out of the room and jumped from the second floor, fracturing his leg and also sustaining injuries.
He has been now slapped with attempt to murder charges too.
