Uttar Pradesh’s Amroha district was gripped by fear after a head constable endured a near-deadly attack during night duty. At Amrohan Nagar police station, Rahul Kumar was caught off-guard as a man lunged at him with a jagged iron weapon, slashing his shoulder and ear deeply.
Swift response from on-duty officers and civilians led to the instant capture of the attacker. The injured officer was evacuated to a hospital, where medical staff stabilized him and began intensive care. His current health is satisfactory, though recovery will demand time.
Interviews with the detainee reveal erratic behavior suggestive of mental illness; he struggles to disclose basic information. Amroha Superintendent of Police Amit Anand shared that charges have been filed, and a mental health evaluation is in progress alongside motive investigation. ‘Every lead is being pursued rigorously,’ he assured.
In parallel news from Farrukhabad, a family feud turned lethal when uncle Rajesh Kanojia stabbed nephew Vaibhav Kanojia in the stomach during evening hours at Mau Darwaza. The victim, ferried to civil hospital by his father, did not survive. ASP Arun Singh confirmed the arrest, noting that further grilling will clarify the dispute’s roots in this tragic killing.
