I immediately went to the rescue of the guest and called the police who later arrested the accused.”
The lifeguard does not know the reason behind stabbing as he was on the duty and since it was raining outside he was sitting inside the ‘tower’ (shelter provided to them by department). According to the lifeguard when he tried to inquire with the accused lady about the reason behind her carrying the knife she narrated saying that the same is kept for her own safety but when the police asked her the same question she changed her version and said that the knife is for cutting the fruits.
The case seemed very confusing and police took her into custody meanwhile, the victim had been given the first aid by a lifeguard and she is supposed to be out of danger. “The lady had one deep stab wound on the right-hand side of her abdomen said the lifeguard.
