A Ludhiana resident, who, along with his female friend, had gone to attend a party at a club in Sector 26, was hit on the head and stabbed in the stomach with a beer bottle by a youth outside the club on Saturday night, leaving him seriously injured.

The victim has been identified as Karamjeet Singh. The victim’s friend, Jasbir Kaur, said a youth, who was allegedly in an inebriated condition, had also come to attend the party along with his friends and offered a cigarette to her. “The accused kept on doing so repeatedly following which I objected and told him that I don’t smoke. The accused then misbehaved with me that led to heated arguments,” she said.

The bouncers at the club made the accused leave the club. A few minutes later, the victim and his friend also came out of the club and found the accused standing with a broken beer bottle. 

“The accused hit the bottle on Karamjeet’s head and then stabbed him with it in the stomach,” she said. 

The police were informed about the incident, who rushed to the spot. The injured was taken to Government Multi-Specialty Hospital (GMSH), Sector 16.

The accused was nabbed on the spot. A case has been registered against him at the Sector 26 police station. The footage of CCTV cameras installed outside the club was scrutinised by the police.
