Incident Details
According to the complaint filed by the victim, identified as Appu, a resident of Sathyanagar, the altercation occurred between 10pm and 10.30pm. Appu was returning home after work on his two-wheeler when he encountered a group of men blocking the road on I Cross. When he honked and requested them to make way, the situation quickly escalated.
The men allegedly picked up a quarrel with Appu, and one of them stabbed him on the upper left side of his chest. As Appu cried out in pain, other residents and passers-by rushed to the spot, prompting the assailants to flee the scene.
