In an extreme reaction to being jilted, a 30-year-old man from Ratnagiri stabbed his former lover multiple times, before slitting his own wrists in a suicide attempt.

The pair was discovered bleeding in a room in an Andheri hotel, where they were supposed to meet one last time yesterday. According to the police, the accused, Suraj Surve, and the 27-year-old victim were childhood sweethearts in their hometown, Ratnagiri.
