Ludhiana: The police booked seven persons for attempt to murder on Saturday evening, a day after they attacked three youths, one of them grievously, with sharp-edged weapons in Raikot.
While two accused have been identified as Sukha of Valmiki Mohalla and Raji of Gondwal, the five others are yet to be identified.
Manjinder Singh, a resident of Qila Raikot, said in his police complaint, “Around 9.30pm on Friday, the seven miscreants surrounded me, my cousin Gagandeep Singh and friend Billa when we were near Kutba Gate in Raikot. They were on motorcycles and attacked us with sharp-edged weapons. I somehow managed to flee from there and hid in a nearby gurdwara. From there, I saw the miscreants brutally assaulting Gagandeep and Billa. When Gagandeep fell on the road, I raised the alarm. Presuming he had died, the assailants fled from there.”
Manjinder took a critically injured Gagandeep to a nearby hospital, from where he was referred to Ludhiana civil hospital. “Civil hospital doctors further referred him to PGI, Chandigarh, after his condition deteriorated,” said a cop.
After recording the statement of Gagandeep, police booked the accused under sections 307 (attempt to murder), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 148 (rioting, armed with deadly weapon), 149 (unlawful assembly) of the IPC.
Sub-inspector Gurtar Singh said, “Raids are being conducted to arrest the accused. The condition of Gagandeep is stated to be stable. The attack was the fallout of an old enmity.”
