Both spent about an hour at the ashram. While they were returning home in the evening, she stopped at an isolated spot, and asked him to close his eyes so that she could give him a surprise gift. She then tied her dupatta around the victim's eyes, slashed his throat and left the spot.

Hearing his cries for help, some locals rushed to the spot and shifted him to a primary health centre at Ravikamatham, from where he was shifted to NTR hospital in Anakapalli when his condition started deteriorating due to excessive loss of blood and suspected injuries to his veins.

He is likely to be shifted to KGH in Vizag later in the night.

When police spoke to the girl, she reportedly told them he fell from his bike and got injured.

But the victim, just before losing consciousness , told cops that he was attacked with a knife by the girl. Cops said they will take further steps after conducting a preliminary investigation.
