In yet another instance of lawlessness in the state capital Bhopal, nine miscreants surrounded and stabbed two policemen in Hamidia hospital parking area in the city late evening on Thursday.
Police after the incident arrested four of the miscreants while five others were at large. Taking strong exception to the incident, the administration razed down houses and shops of the goons engaged in the incident on Friday.
However, this is the third such brazen attack on the policemen in the city in the recent past. Addl SP Ramsanehi Mishra said that the Koh-e-Fiza police had received information that some suspected miscreants were standing at the Hamidia hospital parking lot late evening on Thursday.
Head constable Vijay Yadav and constable Vijay Bahadur reached there and asked some men including Arshlam, Ausar Shah, Haidar Ali and others to leave the place. The goons instead of leaving the premises surrounded the policemen and attacked them with knives.
Severely outnumbered, the policemen could not retaliate and sustained severe stab injuries and were rushed to Hamidia hospital. Soon after the police force was rushed to the spot and attackers were booked under charges including attempt to murder, obstructing government work and others.
Home minister Narottam Mishra on Friday speaking to the media said that those accused of assaulting policemen won’t be spared and besides legal action, their illegal assets will be razed down.
