Navi Mumbai: Timely Police Intervention Prevents Fatal Stabbing At Vashi’s Raghulila Mall Birthday Celebration

Vashi, 15th August 2023: During a birthday celebration at Raghulila Mall in Vashi, two assailants launched a violent stabbing attack on a young man. However, the prompt intervention of the Vashi police prevented a potential disaster.

The victim, Nizamuddin Khan, was celebrating his friend Subham Hajiz Sarvaiya’s birthday when the terrifying tragedy occurred late Tuesday night. Eyewitnesses said two young guys, Hasan Siddiqui and Yusuf Shah, arrived at the location in a car about 1 a.m. They launched a savage assault on Nizamuddin Khan without warning, inflicting severe injuries with a knife. Subham Hajiz Sarvaiya was also attacked by the attackers’ knives while attempting to save his friend.

Assailants continued their onslaught, seemingly undeterred by the pandemonium around them, and the situation took a possibly catastrophic turn. Their violent spree, however, was immediately put to an end by the timely involvement of Police Sub-Inspector Nilesh Barse and his team. Within ten minutes of receiving the emergency call, police swiftly arrived on the spot. When confronted by police, the offenders refused to comply, resulting in a tense confrontation between them and the police. Following that, the cops threatened them with opening a fire. Despite the offenders forceful retaliation, the police finally apprehended Hasan Siddiqui and Yusuf Shah, confiscating a knife from their hands.

Medical examinations of the arrested individuals revealed that they were under the influence of narcotics, which may have contributed to their irresponsible behaviour. Preliminary investigations have revealed a possible motivation for the attack: a relationship between Nizamuddin Khan and a relative of one of the suspects. It is thought that the violent assault was sparked by this relationship.

Nizamuddin Khan was then quickly hospitalised and received treatment for his injuries as a result of the event. Authorities are looking into the case, with a focus on the retrieved evidence and witness testimony. As part of the ongoing investigation, the Honda City car used by the accused during the attack has been impounded.
