A Karnataka Administrative Service (KAS) officer sustained minor injuries after he was attacked by bike-borne miscreants on Sunday morning.

The incident took place when he was taking a walk at Sir M Visvesvaraya Layout in Jnanabharathi. The police said the victim, Jagadish, works as an officer with the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board. Two persons came on a bike and waylaid him. One of them got down and tried to stab Jagadish, but the officer ducked.

He assaulted Jagadish and fled. Jagadish sustained injuries and was shifted to a private hospital where he is undergoing treatment. Doctors said Jagadish had only sustained bruises and was out of danger.

A case has been registered at the Annapoorneshwari police station and efforts are on to trace the assaulters. The motive of the attackers is yet to be ascertained.
