Harshjeet Singh (22), a resident of Ambala, in his complaint to the police said he along with his friend Satnam Singh returned to city bus stand after an interview in Mohali.

“After Satnam left, my old friend Sahil met me at the bus stand. Later we had a verbal spat with Ankush who attacked me with a knife. In the meantime, Ankush’s friends Sorav, Gaurav, Sukhi and two unknown youths started scuffling with Sahil. I picked a brick in my defence and hit it in Ankush’s head, and then they all attacked me. I suffered a knife injury in my back and also a head injury. Sahil had some enmity with the accused”, he stated.
