Vadodara Man Brutally Stabbed in Pre-Planned Attack by Six Accused
In a shocking incident in Vadodara, a man was brutally stabbed and assaulted by six individuals on Thursday, highlighting ongoing tensions from an old dispute. The victim, identified as Sonu Sharma, sustained grievous injuries and was promptly admitted to SSG Hospital, where he is currently undergoing treatment. According to police reports, Sharma informed authorities that the attack stemmed from a previous altercation that had seemingly been resolved.
Background of the Dispute and Previous Compromise
The roots of this violent episode trace back to February 11, when Sharma's uncle became involved in a quarrel with a group of men in the Sayajigunj area. In response, Sharma and his father visited the location, leading to a physical confrontation that escalated to the point of police intervention. Subsequently, a compromise was reached at the police station, and Sharma believed the matter had been settled amicably.
Luring and Assault Under False Pretenses
However, the situation took a sinister turn on Wednesday when Sharma received a phone call from a woman who offered him a furniture-making contract at her residence. Trusting the offer, he proceeded to Karelibaug as directed. Upon arrival, he was ambushed on the road by the accused, who launched a vicious assault, stabbing him multiple times. This premeditated attack has led to the registration of a formal complaint alleging attempted murder at the Fatehgunj police station.
Recent Similar Incident in Vadodara
This stabbing case follows another violent episode in Vadodara last month, where Hussain Zulfikar was fatally stabbed by his long-time friend, Vishal Kahar, near the old Panigate police station. Police investigations revealed that Kahar, 35, was arrested within hours of the killing. The motive behind this tragedy was a personal rift that emerged after Kahar began a relationship with Zulfikar's estranged wife, even as their divorce proceedings were ongoing.
Key Points:
- Sonu Sharma was attacked by six men in Vadodara over an old dispute.
- He was lured to Karelibaug under the guise of a furniture contract.
- A complaint for attempted murder has been filed at Fatehgunj police station.
