UP Police Head Constable and Civilian Stabbed in Northeast Delhi Bus Stop Altercation
A head constable serving with the Uttar Pradesh Police and a passerby were brutally stabbed by a group of motorcycle-borne assailants following a brief altercation at a bus stop on Wazirabad Road in northeast Delhi. The violent incident occurred on the night of January 21, sending shockwaves through the local community and prompting an immediate police response.
Details of the Violent Attack Emerge
The incident was officially reported to the Khajuri Khas police station by Jag Pravesh Chandra Hospital, where both injured individuals were admitted for emergency medical treatment. Upon arriving at the hospital, police officers discovered that two persons had sustained multiple stab wounds from a sharp weapon during the confrontation.
One of the victims has been identified as Kuldeep (31), a head constable currently posted at the Ankur Vihar police station in Uttar Pradesh. In his official statement to authorities, Kuldeep revealed that he was simply waiting at the Wazirabad Road bus stop when three men arrived on a motorcycle, riding in a reckless and dangerous manner.
Sequence of Events Leading to the Stabbing
The trio allegedly began quarreling with other people who were waiting at the bus stop, creating a tense atmosphere. When Head Constable Kuldeep intervened in an attempt to defuse the volatile situation, the three men initially fled the scene. However, in a shocking turn of events, they returned within minutes and launched a vicious attack on the police officer with a sharp weapon.
During this brutal assault, a passerby named Sachin Pandey (32), a resident of 5th Pusta in Sonia Vihar, courageously attempted to rescue Kuldeep from his attackers. Tragically, Pandey was also targeted by the assailants and suffered significant injuries during the rescue attempt.
Police Investigation and Medical Status
Following the attack, both injured individuals were immediately rushed to a nearby hospital where they are currently undergoing medical treatment. Hospital authorities have confirmed that both victims are in stable condition and receiving appropriate care for their injuries.
The Khajuri Khas police station has registered a formal case under Sections 109 (attempt to murder) and 3(5) (common intention) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Police officials have confirmed that multiple specialized teams have been deployed to identify and apprehend the accused individuals responsible for this violent crime.
Evidence Collection and Investigation Progress
Investigators are currently scanning CCTV footage from the surrounding area to trace the movements of the attackers both before and after the incident. This forensic evidence collection is crucial for establishing the sequence of events and identifying the perpetrators who fled the scene on their motorcycle.
The incident has raised concerns about public safety in the area, particularly at transportation hubs like bus stops during evening hours. Police authorities have assured the public that they are pursuing all available leads to ensure the swift arrest of those responsible for this brazen attack on both a police officer and a civilian who attempted to help.
