A former guest lecturer of Madurai Kamaraj University walked into the room of the head of a department on Tuesday morning and stabbed her allegedly over the loss of  his job. Dr S Jenefa, Associate Professor and Head Chairperson, incharge, Department of Journalism and Science Communication, is undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Madurai, while the attacker, Jothi Murugan has been detained by the police.

Police sources said Jothi Murugan (32), who worked as a guest lecturer in the same department, entered her room at around 10 am with a knife which he used to stab her immediately after entering the room. 

When Murugan exited and attempted to flee the spot, a group of students noticed him and found his behaviour suspicious. Surrounded by students, he attempted to stab himself but was soon overpowered by students before.
