A Brutal Attack in Chandigarh: Father and Son Hospitalized Over Alleged Unpaid Wages

It was a terrifying evening in Chandigarh's Sector 38 West, one that left a father and his son brutally beaten and fighting for recovery. Rakesh Kumar, a contractor, and his son, Mohit, became the victims of a savage assault by a group of nearly a dozen men, all allegedly over a long-standing dispute concerning unpaid wages to a former driver. You just don't expect such violence to erupt, especially not over something that should be resolved civilly.

According to reports, the root of this harrowing incident traces back to Rakesh's business dealings. He had employed a driver named Shivam some time ago. Now, exactly what transpired between them regarding the wages isn't entirely clear, but it seems there was a significant disagreement, leaving Shivam feeling short-changed. This kind of professional dispute, if left unresolved, can unfortunately fester and, as we've seen, lead to far more sinister outcomes.

The evening of the attack, around 8:30 PM, things took a drastic turn. Shivam, instead of attempting to resolve the matter peacefully, reportedly arrived at the scene not alone, but with a formidable group of about eight to ten individuals. Imagine the sheer shock and intimidation of facing such a crowd. What started as a confrontation quickly spiraled out of control into outright aggression.

The assailants, armed with sticks and what victims described as sharp weapons, launched a merciless assault on Rakesh and Mohit. It wasn't just a scuffle; it was a brutal, coordinated attack against two people. The father and son were outnumbered and overwhelmed, subjected to a terrifying ordeal that left them with multiple injuries across their bodies. It's truly heartbreaking to hear about the ferocity of such an unprovoked attack.

Following the horrific assault, both Rakesh and Mohit were rushed to a local hospital. They are currently receiving treatment for their injuries, which were significant enough to warrant immediate medical attention and hospitalization. We can only imagine the physical pain and emotional trauma they're enduring after such a harrowing experience.

In the wake of this violence, the local police in Chandigarh's Sector 39 have taken swift action. An FIR (First Information Report) has been registered against Shivam and the unidentified members of his group. The charges, as expected, include assault and criminal intimidation, among others. Police are now actively investigating the incident and are on the lookout for the culprits involved, hoping to bring them to justice. It's crucial that such acts of aggression are met with firm legal repercussions.
