The incident took place at Rathore Chowk in Gadaipura, under the Hazira police station. The victim, identified as Hrithik Verma, was standing near a Ganesh pandal when the attackers arrived, dragged him onto the street, and brutally attacked him with knives. The prime accused, Deepak Tiwari, stabbed Hrithik multiple times before fleeing the scene.
