The capital’s security remains vulnerable as another violent incident unfolded last night in Palaspalli. Three men on a bike chased and attacked a young man, Shivprasad Srichandan, a well-known social worker, leaving him critically injured. It is still unclear who targeted Shivprasad or the motive behind the attack.
Around 10:00 pm, Shivprasad was travelling on his scooter from Palaspalli Street to Naveen Bhashak Road. Two bikes blocked his path, forcing him to stop. The assailants then drew swords and attacked him, inflicting deep wounds on multiple parts of his body.
As Shivprasad collapsed, the attackers fled. Residents, alerted by his cries, rushed to his aid and immediately took him to Capital Hospital. He was later transferred to AIIMS due to the severity of his injuries.
Police Commissioner S. Devadatta Singh visited AIIMS late last night to check on Shivprasad’s condition. The police have launched an investigation and are reviewing CCTV footage to identify the assailants.
