Ahmedabad: In a heart-wrenching incident, a 23-year-old student from Mudra Institute of Communications, Ahmedabad (MICA) in Ahmedabad was fatally stabbed by an unidentified man just hours after giving his measurement to have a suit stitched for upcoming job interviews in Bopal on Sunday night.
Priyanshu Jain succumbed to his injuries after a car driver attacked him at Bopal Fire Station Chowk following an altercation. Police said, "On the fateful night, Jain and his friends were riding past the area on a bullet after buying a cake from a pastry shop in the city’s Bopal area around 10.30 pm when an unknown car driver overtook them, taking a turn at a four-way."
Soon after, an argument ensued between Jain and the car driver who immediately attacked Jain with a knife, causing the latter severe blood loss. Despite rushing Jain to a private hospital nearby, doctors declared him brought dead.
Jain's friend lodged an FIR against the driver and a case was registered against the accused driver whose identity has not been ascertained yet.
“The driver retrieved two knives from his car and tried to stab Jain, who ducked but slipped and fell. As he tried to get up, the driver stabbed him in the back with two knives several times,” the FIR stated.
Jain's friend told police that the accused was driving a black car, sporting earrings in both ears. He was approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall and had a short haircut, the friend said.
The Ahmedabad rural police had on Tuesday released a sketch of the suspect and assured anonymity to whoever helping in identifying the alleged killer. The alleged attacker was booked for murder under section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and under section 135 of the Gujarat Police Act for contravention of orders.
