Bengaluru Area Manager Seriously Injured in Brutal Stabbing Attack
A 28-year-old area manager working for a prominent chicken retail chain was left with serious injuries after being stabbed twice by two assailants on a motorcycle in Bengaluru. The violent incident occurred near the Devegowda petrol bunk at Channamma Circle in the bustling Banashankari area on the evening of January 31.
Victim Undergoes Surgery, Now Out of Danger
The victim, identified as Pradeep K, was promptly taken to a private hospital in Padmanabhanagar following the attack. He underwent emergency surgery for his injuries and is now reported to be out of danger, according to police officials. This development brings some relief amidst the shocking nature of the crime.
Details of the Terrifying Attack Emerge
Pradeep, a resident of VK Ramanna Block in north Bengaluru, was returning home on his motorcycle after attending the inauguration of a new outlet in JP Nagar. The attack unfolded between 8:20 PM and 8:30 PM while he was riding on the flyover near the petrol bunk.
According to a complaint filed by his elder brother, Mahadeva K, with the Banashankari police station, the family received a distressing call around 8:45 PM from an unidentified person. The caller informed them that Pradeep had been stabbed and admitted to the hospital. Mahadeva rushed to the medical facility by 9:15 PM and found his brother with two deep stab wounds on his back.
Sequence of Events as Described by the Victim
Pradeep recounted to his brother that two men on a motorcycle approached him on the flyover and suddenly stabbed him in the back. In a state of shock and pain, he managed to ride to the end of the flyover and slowed down to assess his injury. Tragically, the assailants returned and stabbed him again, this time on the left side of his back.
The second attack caused profuse bleeding, leading Pradeep to fall from his bike. The attackers then fled the scene, leaving him severely injured. Due to the suddenness of the assault and the fact that the assailants were wearing helmets, Pradeep could not note the registration number of their motorcycle or identify them.
Police Investigation Underway
Local authorities from the Banashankari police station have registered a case and are actively investigating the matter. Police officials stated that they are examining CCTV footage from the area to identify the perpetrators and piece together the events leading up to the attack. Efforts are ongoing to nab the miscreants responsible for this brutal act.
This incident has raised concerns about safety in the area, prompting calls for increased vigilance and security measures. The police have assured the public that they are taking all necessary steps to ensure such crimes are prevented in the future.
