The victim, identified as Amit, a resident of Sunder Nagar in Mauli Jagran Part-2, was attacked inside Sunder Nagar Park following an argument. According to police, three youths allegedly assaulted him with a sharp-edged punch weapon and fled the scene.
Amit sustained a severe injury behind his ear and collapsed on the spot. After receiving information about the incident, police from Mauli Jagran Police Station rushed to the park and shifted him to a hospital, where doctors declared him dead.
