In the wee hours of Monday, Shakti Mills gangrape case juvenile convict Akash Jadhav was stabbed by unidentified men near Trimurti Mandir at Agripada. Following the incident, Jadhav was immediately rushed to Nair Hospital as he sustained injuries to his stomach. This year in July, Jadhav was externed from the city limits following the increasing number of cases piling against him.
Cops are suspecting the role of three people – Akash Kale, Danish and one of their accomplices – in the attack. One of the police officers said that about one-and-a-half months ago, Jadhav had attacked Kale following a tiff between them. The police officer added that Kale might have attacked Jadhav with the help of two of his friends to take revenge.
