Why Did The Pharmacy Owner Attack The Student?
According to officials, the scuffle between the law student and the medicine shop owner, Amar Singh Chauhan, began over the price of a medicine. “Chauhan, his brother Vijay and their two aides, Prince Srivastava and Nikhil Tiwari allegedly launched a violent attack on Chandel,” the Assistant Commissioner of Police (Kalyanpur) Ranjeet Kumar said.
The attack on Chandel was so severe that he collapsed on the road while the attackers fled. Locals who were near the incident rushed to his aid. Chandel's family tied his intestines with a cloth before rushing him to a hospital. The family took him to four hospitals, but all of them refused to admit him due to his critical condition, said an official.
Finally, he was admitted to Regency Hospital, where doctors performed a two-hour surgery. As per Assistant Commissioner of Police (Kalyanpur) Ranjeet Kumar, Chandel received 14 stitches on his head due to the attack and remains in critical condition.
The victim's mother, Neelam Singh Chandel, has claimed that the accused were "well connected with police" and managed to get the false case registered against her and her injured son the same night.
