A history sheeter and his accomplices stabbed a mobile shop owner and ransacked his shop at Vinayaka Nagar in Hebbagodi on Friday. The victim, Vikas Mishra, who sustained multiple stab injuries, has been admitted to a private hospital.
The accused Manju, a history-sheeter, and his gang were doing bike stunts in front of Mishra’s shop. Mishra's friend objected to this and arguments ensued. With the intervention of a few passersby, the gang went away, but returned later looking for Mishra’s friend.
Armed with lethal weapons, the gang ransacked the shop, robbed valuables and stabbed Mishra who tried to resist. The gang fled with the loot after Mishra, who sustained injuries, raised an alarm. Neighbours rushed to his help and admitted him to a private hospital. They also informed the police.
