BANGALORE: A small-time Kannada film actress was stabbed repeatedly by her former lover in their residence at Judicial Layout near Yelahanka on Tuesday afternoon.

Soumya Gowda, 23, was admitted to Baptist Hospital in Hebbal in a critical condition. The accused, Anil Kumar MG, 27, a dismissed Kodagu District Armed Reserve constable and native of Kushalnagar, later attempted suicide by stabbing himself.

Soumya, who debuted in 'Huduga Hudugi' directed by Indrajit Lankesh, has acted in four other movies which are in a post-production stage. She was in a relationship with Anil but broke off with him after coming to know that he was married.

Around 2.30pm on Tuesday, Anil came to the house and started quarelling with Soumya . He objected to her breaking up with him and dating other men.

Anil whipped out a knife and stabbed her in the face, neck and abdomen. He attempted suicide by stabbing himself. Neighbours heard her screams and rushed to her rescue. Both were taken to hospital. Soumya reportedly lost a lot of blood by then.

After first-aid , Anil Kumar was taken into police custody.

An aspiring actor, Anil had abstained from work for two years and been dismissed from service . On learning that Anil was married, Soumya broke up with him recently. The affair took its toll on his marriage, too; his wife left him.

A distraught Anil began calling Soumya often and warned her against seeing other men. Two days ago, he heard she was going on a trip with a man called Naveen and rushed to Bangalore to confront her.
