Two friends of Satil were injured at this time as well. They are receiving treatment at DMCH.
The injured are two polytechnic students named Sowaib, 18, and Rupam Dutta, 19.
One of the Injured Rupam Dutta said: “Around three days ago, I had an argument with a young man named Rocky over calling my name. Later, Rocky held a knife to my throat and threatened me. Satil was there as well at the time.
“At around 8pm tonight, Rocky and a few others came to Road No 13 and started assaulting me. Seeing that, Satil came forward to rescue me and got stabbed. At that time, they also stabbed me in the back and Sowaib in the chest as well.”
