Gurugram, Aug 6 (IANS): A resident of Kundli in Sonepat district was arrested on charge of stabbing a young woman and her father-in-law in Gurugram's Rajiv Nagar area, a police official said on Wednesday.

Accused Vivek Kumar was injured when he jumped off the third floor of a building while trying to escape after the crime. He was cornered by area residents and caught as he was unable to ran away due to his injuries.

"The accused fled and entered another building and jumped off the third floor after area residents cornered him. The accused was caught by them," the SHO said.

Vivek was admitted in the Civil Hospital, where his condition is said to be stable. The two victims were discharged from hospital.
