Congress youth leader Asghar Ali sustained critical injuries as he was attacked by unidentified miscreants here late on Monday night. Ali was first admitted to the District Headquarters Hospital (DHH) here but later shifted to the SCB Medical College Hospital as his condition deteriorated.
According to information, when Ali was returning home at around 10 pm, two miscreants came on a bike, stabbed him with a sharp weapon and fled the spot. Though the exact reason behind the attack was yet to be ascertained, past enmity is suspected to have led to the incident.
