A stabbing incident was reported at around 11.40 PM on Friday at JPC Hospital, where a 25-year-old man from New Usmanpur was brought by a friend in a critical condition. The attending doctors declared him “brought dead”.

A case was registered under charges of murder and joint liability.

A forensic team visited the crime scene and collected exhibits for examination. The victim’s body was shifted to the GTB Hospital for post-mortem, the official added.
