A group of around 15 men allegedly attacked a 15-year-old youth inside the emergency ward of the Civil Hospital in Ludhiana late on Thursday night, which subsequently led to his death. The assailants attacked the minor boy with sharp-edged weapons which left gashes on his neck, head and arms.
As per the FIR, the incident took place in the presence of several doctors, nurses and patients. The group barged into the ward with swords and axes and apart from attacking the youth, they vandalised doors and windows of the hospital.
According to the police, the attack was a fallout of a longstanding clash between two groups. The victim, identified as Savan Kumar (15), a student Class VII from the EWS Colony, has accompanied his elder brother Sumit and his brother-in-law Rajvir to the hospital after a clash with the other group left Sumit injured. The rival group had allegedly attacked Sumit with a glass bottle and also abused Savan.
Rajvir in his statement to the police said the Sumit had gone inside the emergency ward while Savan was waiting outside. Soon, at least 15 men from the other group reached the hospital on bikes and gheraoed Savan. “They started assaulting him with swords, axes and other sharp-edged weapons. He ran inside the ward to save himself and tried to close the door but they smashed the glass windows and door and barged inside. Savan received grievous injuries on his neck, head and arms,” Rajvir told the police in his statement.
