A class 10 student was allegedly attacked with a knife and a dagger by two minors while playing snooker at a club in Madhya Pradesh’s Bhopal, police said.

The incident took place on the night of February 15 but came to light on Monday after the accused purportedly posted a video of the assault on social media. HT could not independently verify the authenticity of the video.

Police initially registered a case of voluntarily causing hurt based on the victim’s complaint. However, after the video showing the accused stabbing him 27 times in 30 seconds and severing two of his fingers, went viral, additional charges are being considered, said MS Bhadauria, investigating officer at Tila Jamalpur police station.

According to the victim, the accused had fought with him at a coaching institute days earlier over a trivial issue, during which he slapped them.

“They threatened me with dire consequences. Later, they came to the snooker club and attacked me without any conversation before fleeing,” he said.

The victim managed to reach the hospital and inform the police. He sustained more than ten deep cuts on one wrist, lost two fingers on the other hand, and suffered serious injuries to his shoulder and back, according to the investigating officer.

The victim further alleged that police did not take his complaint seriously, saying that the accused were initially apprehended but released after being served notices.

“The accused themselves posted CCTV footage on social media to spread fear,” he added.

I have spent over a decade chronicling Madhya Pradesh’s political and social landscape, covering politics, investigative journalism, crime, human interest, and government policy, blending sharp insight with ground‑level depth. I have closely tracked three assembly elections, three Lok Sabha elections, leadership transitions in MP while exposing governance lapses, tender irregularities, and flawed policy rollouts. My reports have revealed gaps in the Cheetah project, irregularities in medical education, rigging in recruitment exams, and loopholes in policy implementation. In crime reporting, I have moved beyond FIRs to map systemic patterns — from organised crime networks and gender‑based violence to custodial accountability — balancing urgency with sensitivity. My journalism is defined by a commitment to human interest. I have profiled the marginalised Bancchda community, documented atrocities against tribal groups, and highlighted efforts to preserve their culture through heritage liquor and revival of spiritual practices. I have reported on farmers struggling with failed MSP promises, giving voice to those often reduced to statistics in policy files. Passionate about field reporting, I have reported on rampant sand mining in Chambal and Narmada, pharmaceutical companies supplying medicines under altered names, the dire condition of schools and colleges, the plight of commercial sex workers, and skewed sex ratios in specific districts. Beyond deadlines, and as HT’s state correspondent and assistant editor in Madhya Pradesh, I engage with ministers, farmers, students, and activists, believing the best policy stories begin with a single human voice.
