“We were returning home to our village and stopped for nature’s call. Then we decided to take some photos of our new bike,” Aamir told local media.
As the trio took photos, a few men approached them and started enquiring. “As soon as they heard our names, they took our bike keys and started attacking us,” he said.
Aamir and Rizwan managed to escape. Wasim was reportedly held captive and brutally assaulted. He sustained serious injuries, including broken ribs, a fractured leg, and bleeding from both ears.
His family has registered a complaint at the Pilkhuwa police station, identifying the accused as Deepak, Nikhil, Ajay, and Pankaj. An FIR has been registered under section of attempt to murder.
