Ahmedabad man loses eye in stabbing attack, family seeks attempt to murder charge
A man stabbed another man in the neck, back, and eye over a personal dispute in Ahmedabad’s Jamalpur area on the evening of March 5, in which, the victim has now lost sight in one of his eyes.
A man named Prakash stabbed Bunty Marwari near the Jamalpur crematorium, causing serious injuries. After this incident, Bunty was taken to the Civil Hospital in Asarwa for treatment in an EMRI 108 ambulance.
Due to his injuries, Bunty lost his ability to see in the one eye, as per the doctors treating him. Apart from this, there were deep wounds on his neck and back.
In the matter, the Gaekwad Haveli police registered the crime under Section 118 (1) of the BNS, which deals with "Voluntarily causing hurt or grievous hurt by dangerous weapons or means".
