A horrifying assault rocked Amroha late Monday as Head Constable Rahul Kumar faced a cowardly attack while performing duties at Amrohan Nagar outpost. Struck from behind with a lethal iron-edged implement, the officer suffered critical gashes to his shoulder and ear.
The scene turned chaotic, but police and witnesses overpowered the aggressor without delay. Kumar received urgent hospitalization, with doctors affirming his stable condition under ongoing therapy. The suspect’s refusal or inability to identify himself points to possible psychiatric issues, as per initial probes.
SP Amit Anand detailed the swift arrest and FIR lodging, with authorities now focusing on psychiatric assessment and intent determination. The case underscores vulnerabilities in policing amid rising unpredictable threats.
Tragedy also struck Farrukhabad, where a paternal uncle slew his nephew in a fit of familial rage. Vaibhav Kanojia, stabbed in the gut by Rajesh Kanojia in Mau Darwaza, was dead by the time medical aid arrived via his father. ASP Arun Singh stated that custodial interrogation promises to expose the quarrel’s deadly progression.
