Hyderabad Man Attacks Woman With Axe For Refusing His Sexual Advances. Why Can’t Men Learn To Deal With Rejection?

A couple of years ago, I was in conversation with a guy who seemed to come from a very fancy background, was well spoken, extremely interested in taking me out for a fancy date, and even asked me out for it. After months of him pursuing me, I finally said yes for a dinner. However, on the actual day, I had some work come up and politely asked him for a rain-check. Now, this could have gone two ways, one where he, like a gentleman, would understand and reschedule, or the other more common way, where he’d get piss drunk and drunk-dial me to shout slurs and abuses at me, with threats to have me raped. That men can’t handle rejection gracefully, or at all, is no secret. Probably because for them a ‘no’, is a direct challenge to their masculinity, to reinstate which, they turn rather aggressive. So much so that one man in Hyderabad, upon being rejected by a woman, had an actual and literal axe to grind with her.

Caught on camera in a video, this is the spine-chilling story of a jilted lover named Rahul from Telangana capital, Hyderabad, who attacked a girl with an axe for refusing to continue to be in a relationship with him. Now we know why that may be. As per the police reports, the suspect Rahul Goud (30), was harassing the woman despite knowing she was married, with a child. Police said Goud had developed feelings for the woman, started harassing her, and despite several warnings, didn’t stop.

Rahul had apparently conducted a recce around her house, planned the attack and then showed up in front of her house in the evening, in a fit of rage. He got down from the Scooty he drove to her house and without wasting a breath, attacked her with an axe three times, as she continued to move away and dodge the attack.

The woman has suffered severe injuries in the attack and was immediately rushed to the local hospital for treatment. Meanwhile, the Hyderabad police formed a special team to nab the criminal and two others along with him. A case has been registered under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the attacker has been sent to judicial custody.

It is a shame to see men take such disgusting and extreme measures to protect their male ego. It is time that they learn how to take rejection well, without threatening women for their life or feeling entitled to converting that “no” to a “yes”. Because as much the society has made you believe otherwise, you are not entitled to always getting your way, simply because you were born a man. Period.
