Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): A 35-year-old man was stabbed in the chest following a dispute over borrowed money under Ashoka Garden police station limits on Sunday night. The victim is undergoing treatment in a hospital and his condition is reported to be critical.

According to reports, Sharad Ahirwar, a resident of Sagar, lives in the Semra area with his family and works in a private job. Accused Vikas, who also hails from Sagar district, is known to Ahirwar.
