Salon owner stabbed in Panchkula

Panchkula, November 23

A salon owner was injured after 10-12 men allegedly attacked him with a knife at Sector 15 here.

The incident took place at Chand Unisex Salon around 3.30 pm after the owner refused to allow one of his employees, Rajni, to leave the work early to attend a wedding.

Victim Jameel Ahmed, aka Chand (42), told the police that despite not allowing Rajni to leave the salon early, she picked up her belongings and put it on a table in the eating space and got ready to leave. When another employee Uzman asked her to lift her items as he wanted to eat lunch, she badmouthed him which led to an argument between them.

“Rajni called her brother Rahul from Rajiv Colony to the spot, saying she will teach me a lesson. Her brother Rahul reached the spot with his friends Mohit, Rakesh, Ravi and seven-eight other  men and asked me why I didn’t allow his sister to leave early from work. Rahul then took out a knife and attacked me. As I turned around to protect myself, the weapon got stuck in my right hip.,” the complainant said.

The victim was then taken to the Sector 6 Civil Hospital where the doctors removed the knife from his hip. —TNS
