On 05.08.2025, the de-facto complainant was at Datha Nagar area; Bablu made a phone call to him for some work, so the de-facto complainant asked Bablu to make the payment of thotela. After some time, Bablu came to Datha Nagar along with his friend viz., Syed Ayan on his two-wheeler and took a knife from his jacket and attacked the de-facto complainant. When he tried to stop him, he got hurt over his head by receiving a blood injury over his head and
