Thane: A 25-year-old man allegedly stabbed his 21-year-old cousin with a knife after she rejected his marriage proposal in Thane. Mumbra police station's senior inspector Kishore Pasalkar said that the accused is the victim's maternal uncle's son and he had proposed her several times in the past but she refused.

The accused again approached the woman on Sunday evening, but when she declined his proposal, he stabbed her multiple times with the knife near her house at Samrat Nagar in Mumbra and fled. On hearing the woman's cries for help, her parents rushed to the spot and took her to the Kalwa civil hospital, Pasalkar said.
