Eight arrested for stabbing two 17-year-old boys at birthday party
The Tulinj police in Nalasopara East on Saturday arrested eight people for stabbing two 17-year-old boys and seriously injuring them following a quarrel during a birthday party. The accused, all residents of Nalasopara, have been booked for attempt to murder as they attacked the two boys with knives and broken beer bottles. According to the police, the birthday party was held at a banquet hall in Pragati Nagar in Nalasopara. It began at 8 pm and was attended by accused Rizwan Khan, 23, and his accomplices Akash Kadam, Dheeraj Yadav, Satyam Singh, Gaurav Yadav, Jigar Tiwari, Happy Singh and Rahul Singh. Adnan Khan, a college student working in a catering company, and his friend Hatim Shaikh were also present at the party. Eyewitnesses told the police that shortly before midnight, Adnan Khan and Shaikh had a fight with Rizwan Khan over a spilled drink.
The argument turned violent when Rizwan, who was inebriated, abused the two boys and threatened to kill them if they did not leave the venue immediately. Rizwan and his associates attacked the two boys, a police officer said. Rizwan picked up a knife and stabbed Adnan and Hatim. When Adnan threatened to call the police, Rizwan broke a beer bottle and stabbed Adnan again with the knife and broke the bottle on his head, the officer said.
At this time, some of the attendees called the police on the emergency number and informed them about the incident. A police team soon reached the spot and rushed the two injured boys to the hospital. Shailendra Nagarkar, senior police inspector of Tulinj police station, said, though the accused had fled from the spot by then, we traced them and arrested all of them. The accused were arrested on Sunday and produced in court on Monday. We are recording statements of eyewitnesses and collecting CCTV footage of the brawl, Nagarkar said.
