Surathkal: Two youngsters stabbed by gang; one critically injured
Surathkal: In a late-night incident on Thursday, two youngsters were stabbed by a gang of four near the Kana petrol pump under the Surathkal police station limits. One of them sustained serious injuries while the other suffered minor wounds.
The injured have been identified as Nizam (23), a resident of Chokkabettu, and Hasan Murshid (18) of Krishnapura Hillside. Nizam suffered a deep stab wound to his abdomen and was initially treated at a private hospital in Mukka before being shifted to another private hospital in Mangaluru for advanced care. Murshid, who sustained minor injuries, is receiving treatment in Mukka.
According to police sources, five friends were travelling on two motorbikes towards Krishnapura when the vehicle carrying Nizam and Murshid ran out of petrol and stopped by the roadside. Their friends went to fetch fuel from a nearby petrol pump.
At that time, four unidentified men approached them from near a nearby bar and reportedly asked, “Do you know Hanif?” An argument broke out between the two groups, during which one of the attackers allegedly stabbed Nizam before the gang fled the scene.
Surathkal Police Inspector Pramod Kumar and his team visited the spot, conducted a preliminary investigation, and recorded the statements of the victims at the hospital.
A case is being registered at the Surathkal Police Station, and further investigation is underway.
