In a shocking incident early on October 23, a 53-year-old grocery shop owner, Pramod Zhadhuji Nagbhide, was stabbed during a robbery attempt at his store in Lendenagar, Nagpur. The attack occurred around 5 am at Goldi Kirana Stores, where Nagbhide resides. Upon hearing unusual noises from his shop, he stepped outside to investigate, only to find the shop's shutter partially open and a moped parked nearby.
As Nagbhide raised an alarm, one of the intruders managed to escape, but he caught hold of the second suspect who was still inside the shop. In a desperate bid to flee, the detained suspect pulled out a knife and attacked Nagbhide, inflicting injuries. The assailant then attempted to escape on a two-wheeler, but the vehicle fell as Nagbhide tried to stop him.
Local residents, alerted by Nagbhide's cries for help, quickly arrived at the scene and apprehended the juvenile suspect before handing him over to the police. Investigations revealed that both suspects involved in the robbery were juveniles, with the arrested individual being in conflict with the law. After the incident, Nagbhide discovered that Rs 1,300 had been stolen from his shop's cash counter.
Following the shopkeeper's complaint, the Kapilnagar Police registered a case against the arrested juvenile under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Arms Act, and the Maharashtra Police Act. The police are actively searching for the accomplice who managed to escape, and further investigations are ongoing to gather more details about the incident.
This incident has raised concerns about safety in the area, prompting local authorities to enhance security measures and increase police patrols. As the investigation continues, community members are urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the police.
