Youth attacked with axe on head in Rewa after objecting to abuse; Govind Singh Barghai accused

A man in Rewa's Kotwali police station area paid a heavy price for asking someone to stop hurling abuse. Jaiprakash Mishra, who lives in Shivpurwa, Ward No. 1, was attacked on the head with an axe. Govind Singh Barghai is accused in the case.

Jaiprakash suffered a serious head injury in the attack, and one of his hands was also fractured. He has been admitted to Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital for treatment.

According to Jaiprakash Mishra, the incident took place at about 7 am on the 9th. A dispute was under way among some people in his neighbourhood. During this, Govind Singh Barghai was loudly hurling abuse. When Jaiprakash told him not to, he left the spot.

It is alleged that some time later, Govind Singh found an opportunity and attacked Jaiprakash on the head with an axe. Jaiprakash was seriously injured in the sudden attack. On receiving information about the incident, a Dial 112 team reached the spot.

The injured Jaiprakash alleges that the accused has not been arrested since the incident. He has demanded that police arrest the accused soon and take strict action against him.

Kotwali police station in-charge Nisha Mishra, who is investigating the case, said an inquiry is under way. Further action will be taken on the basis of its findings.
