Intruder Barges into OU Women’s Hostel—Threatens with Knife

Hyderabad: An unidentified person barged in to the Osmania University Engineering College Women’s hostel here, misbehaved with an inmate and also threatened her with a knife, creating scare among the hostel women.

According to OU Police authorities, one intruder entered the women’s hostel through the backside in the wee hours of Thursday. On seeing a girl student going into the bathroom, he bolted the bathroom from outside, entered in to the bathroom from the roof top and threatened her with a knife and misbehaved with her.  Hearing the cries of the girl student, other inmates rushed there.  The intruder then snatched the mobile phone from the student and ran away from the scene.

Police officials who reached the spot on information, deployed the dog squad and the clues team to trace the culprit. Police found the mobile phone abandoned at the back compound wall of the hostel.

Scared hostel inmates demanded that the culprit should be booked and security at the Hostel be strengthened. They said that lack of CC TV cameras on the backside of the hostel became a problem.
