Sreenivas, a cab driver from Bengaluru was besotted with Savithri, a staff nurse at Vikram Hospital, Yadavgiri, when he came to drop a patient at the hospital.

Enraged, Sreenivas pulled out a knife from his pocket and attacked Savithri who suffered a minor cut on her neck and also on her right finger.<br />Roshan, who was waiting to see off Savithri till she reached the PG, rushed to her help and hit Sreenivas with a brick on his head, resulting in the latter’s fall.

A case has been registered.<br /></p>
