MARGAO: In a disturbing incident, two men were admitted to the South Goa District Hospital with severe injuries after being attacked with a sharp spade in Cuncolim. The attacker has been arrested and is currently in police custody.
According to PSI Tejas Kumar Naik, Ravi Shanker, 28, and Anil Kumar Bhartiya, 32, both from Uttar Pradesh, presently residing at Sanvorcotto, Cuncolim, were hospitalised due to the injuries sustained in the attack.
The police received a complaint from Ravi Shanker, alleging that at a rented room in Sanvorcotto, the accused Lal Chandra Bhartiya, 32, from Allahabad, assaulted Anil Kumar Bhartiya with a spade on his head.
