Love whistleblower stabbed on Carter Rd

25-yr-old man, friend attacked allegedly because he blew the lid off his cousin's affair with another man

A LOVE story gone sour resulted in two men being stabbed by five others at Carter Road last afternoon.

The victims' families suspect that the perpetrators of the crime are the friends of a boy who was caught eloping with one of the victims' cousins last month.

On reaching Carter Road, they saw a burqa-clad girl surrounded by five unknown boys with knives and choppers.

As soon as they approached the girl, the five boys stabbed them and ran away.

Inayat Malik, Sujat's brother, said, "I was in the office when I got a call from the police. They said my brother had been stabbed and was admitted to the Bhabha Hospital.

We are very sure who is behind all this. The incident occurred in broad daylight but no one came to my brother and his friend's rescue."

"Last month, Sujat spotted his cousin, a minor residing in Kurla, with a boy.

He complained about this to his cousin's mother, who scolded her and asked her to stay away from the boy. But, on the same day, the boy tried to elope with her.

The duo were caught leaving the city in a taxi and the boy was handed over to the police," said a close friend of Sujat.

"This may have been the reason behind the attack. We are hoping that the police will take prompt action against the accused," he added.

A doctor at Bhabha hospital said, "The boys are critical. The cuts are very deep and they are still undergoing treatment."

Senior Inspector Mangesh Pote, Khar police station, said, "A case of assault has been registered against five unknown persons. Investigation is under way."
