After attacking they ran away easily and till now no one has been able to trace him. “PLEASE ALL OF YOU ARE REQUESTED TO HELP ME IN FINDING THESE PEOPLE AND HELP ME IN GETTING JUSTICE,” he wrote.
In response to the incident, a senior police officer stated, “A case has been registered under IPC section 307 (attempt to murder) at the Arera Hills police station, but so far there are no clues about the culprits.
