Youth's ear severed in knife attack in Indore; police spent two hours on jurisdiction

Two miscreants attacked a youth with a knife in Indore at around 9 pm on Thursday. The attack severed the ear of the youth, identified as Dipesh Choure. After the incident, police spent about two hours trying to decide which police station's jurisdiction the case fell under. An FIR was then registered at Hiranagar police station.

It has been reported that Dipesh's brother Gaurav was going somewhere to deliver money. On the way, his vehicle collided with a vehicle driven by youths named Vikka and Hitendra. The collision led to a dispute between the two sides. Gaurav phoned home and called Dipesh to help. Knives were then drawn and Dipesh was injured.

The incident is said to have taken place opposite Anoop Nagar. Seeing the brawl and knife attack on the road, people nearby rushed to save Dipesh. When the accused tried to flee after the attack, people chased them. They caught one of the fleeing men, Hitesh, beat him and handed him over to police.

According to police, Vikka has two murder cases registered against him. He has earlier committed murder in the Tukoganj and Pardeshipura areas and was currently out on bail. It is also said that Vikka is a henchman of a notorious criminal known as Fauji.

Dipesh's family members took him to a private hospital. His ear is reported to have been cut off completely and to be hanging. According to doctors, his condition will become clear only after surgery.
