According to police, Johnson mistook Gunasundari to be his ex-girlfriend who ditched him five years ago and got married.Â
On Sunday night, Johnson attacked her and snatched the gold chain. However, instead of disposing it, he framed and kept it at his house. Only through the police he came to know that the woman was not his girlfriend.Â
Currently employed in iron scrap shop, Johnson had fallen in love with a woman when he was working at a photocopy shop in Saidapet. She reportedly ditched him saying that he did not earn enough to run a family, and got married to another man.
When he visited a friend’s house in West Jones Road, he saw Gunasundari, 26, wife of Selva Ganesan, who runs a bar in the locality. He apparently mistook her to be his ex-girlfriend, but she ignored Johnson when he tried to speak to her. That is when he decided to take revenge on her.
On Sunday night he went to her house and pressed the calling bell. When Gunasundari opened the door believing it was her husband at the door, Johnson attacked her with stone, snatched her chain and escaped.Â
Once home, Johnson decided to keep the gold chain as a memento for his undying love. During probe, police zeroed in on his friend based on CCTV footage which showed Johnson riding pillion with another man. The bike rider was traced using the vehicle registration number, who led the investigators to Johnson.
