Six persons have been booked for allegedly attacking a youth in Phase 3B2 here.

The victim, Gurishan Singh (22), a resident of Sector 42, Chandigarh, is a son of ASI Karamjit Singh of the Chandigarh Police.

The incident took place on Tuesday evening near a park in Phase 3B2 when the suspect, Guri Bhullar, along with his five accomplices, assaulted the victim with a blunt weapon on his head.

According to the police, an old rivalry between Gurishan and Guri over friendship with a girl led to the attack.

The suspects fled the spot, leaving the victim in a pool of blood. He was shifted to a private hospital where he got 18 stitches on his head and was discharged later.

A case under Sections 307, 324, 148 and 149 of the IPC has been registered at the Mataur police station.

“The suspects will be nabbed soon,” said the investigating officer, Charanjit Singh. The victim’s father, Karamjit Singh, said, “It was not clear what led to the fight between my son and the suspects.”
