Muktsar, August 17

A 26-year-old man from Punjab has been identified as victim of a brutal assault in Auckland.

A police spokesperson said earlier in the day to New Zealand’s 1 NEWS that the man had been attacked by someone wielding a baseball bat in Takanini on Tuesday night, and investigations were ongoing.

An assistant sub-inspector from Muktsar identified the victim as his son Satpal Singh.

Ajmer Singh, posted at Sadar Malout police station, said his son had been in New Zealand since November 2013, having first gone there to study, and had just got his work visa.

Singh said in a statement that his son was attacked at about 4.20 pm Indian Time on Tuesday and he was unaware of why the attack took place, but the attacker made away with his son’s cell phone. 

“Satpal’s roommate Sukhpal called to tell me that he had been attacked when he was on a phone call. He had a severe head injury and been hospitalised, but is reportedly out of danger.”  With inputs from PTI
