  "account": "Faridabad teacher Sandhya was murdered inside her school by a man who had stalked her for nearly two years, her family revealed on Tuesday. The 26-year-old had previously cut off all contact with the 21-year-old stalker, Amit, and threatened him with a police complaint if he persisted. However, Amit allegedly abducted Sandhya from her home, assaulted her husband, and refused to leave her alone despite repeated assurances.\n\nThe harassment escalated over the following months, with Amit forcibly taking Sandhya to a village near her home. He had become obsessed with her and even tried to marry her when she was already married with two children. Sandhya's family said the police were informed, but no complaint was filed after Amit's family assured them he would not contact her again.\n\nTragically, Amit returned to the village three months later and attacked Vikas, Sandhya's husband, when she refused to meet him. Police are now investigating the family's allegations of the abduction and assault. CCTV footage shows Amit tricking Sandhya into coming to the school's main gate by using Vikas's nickname to gain access. Upon her exit, he stabbed her multiple times in front of other staff and students.\n\nSandhya's family is demanding strict punishment for the accused, arguing that repeated acts of harassment were ignored before culminating in the murder. They also blame the school's lack of security, as there was no guard at the entrance when Amit entered. Principal Tejpal Sharma confirmed that the regular female guard was on medical leave, leaving the gate unattended while around 300 students were present.",
  "summary": "A teacher was fatally stabbed by a man who had stalked her for two years. He had previously abducted her and assaulted her husband, ignoring family assurances. The victim had warned him of a police complaint if harassment continued. The accused tricked her to the school gate using her husband's nickname. Security lapses at the school allowed the masked assailant to enter the campus.",
