“The victim’s father had submitted a complaint to Isanpur police station saying that his son had gone near Seven Day school area around 9:45 pm for some work and around 10.30 pm he received a call from a stranger who said that Umang is lying on the road in a bleeding state. He was stabbed in his stomach with a sharp weapon multiple times.
