Taking advantage of the situation, the intruder hit the girl on her head with a log.
Though she managed to run out till the residential gate the man stabbed her with scissors multiple times before he fled from the location, Devan said.
In this regard, a complaint was registered in the police station and the culprit is presently behind bars.
Stating his daughter has underwent treatment at various hospitals in Manipur, the father said he plans her further treatment outside the state but is in no position as his financial sources has been exhausted due to her lengthy treatment process.
He, thus, appealed to the government to ensure safety of women in the state and take firm measures to prevent recurrence of similar unwanted incidents.
