Sheikh Mosin, a resident of Bada Tajbagh, went to buy ‘kharra’ at Ali Taj Pan Palace at around 9 pm on Sunday. The “paan thela” owner told him that ‘kharra’ is not ready and it would take some time and thus Sheikh Mosin went to the nearby tin shed for watching carom being played by some youths.

The trivial argument turned into the heated exchange of words and in the moment of rage, the accused attacked Mosin with swords and rods with intentions to kil him. Mosin sustained serious injuries on head, chest, hands and legs. The assailants fled the spot when Mosin started shouting for help.
The nearby residents rushed Mosin to Government Medical College and Hospital for treatment. On the complaint of Mosin, Sakkardara police have registered an offence under Section 307 and 34 of the IPC against the accused and launched a manhunt to nab them.
