Sukhdev Rajbhar, who was gravely injured in the attack, was rushed to a hospital in Varanasi. He stated, “Four individuals on two motorcycles approached me, abused me, and started assaulting me. One of them removed a knife attached to a scooter key and threatened to kill me. A crowd gathered and tried to calm them down, after which initially they left. Later, as I was helping my niece into a vehicle, they returned and stabbed me multiple times from behind.”
