Cross FIRs filed after violent clash in Nurpur

In a violent altercation late Friday evening at Dunga Bazar, Nurpur, a clash erupted between saloon owner Anuj Kumar of Badka village and Karanveer, a resident of Chogan locality, prompting the police to register cross FIRs against both parties.

According to the preliminary investigation, Karanveer, accompanied by two associates, entered Anuj’s saloon and, due to personal enmity, initiated a scuffle. The group allegedly vandalised the property by breaking the glass door and dragged Anuj outside, physically assaulting him.

In retaliation, Anuj Kumar attacked Karanveer with a sharp razor, resulting in injuries to Karanveer’s back and stomach. He was rushed to the local civil hospital and remains under treatment.

Nurpur DSP Vishal Verma confirmed that both individuals underwent medical examinations. An FIR under Sections 126(2), 109, 118(1), and 352 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) has been lodged against Anuj Kumar. Conversely, based on Anuj’s complaint, a cross FIR was registered against Karanveer under Sections 332(C), 115(2)(3), and (5) of the BNS. A forensic team also examined the site and collected evidence. Further investigation is ongoing to ascertain the full sequence of events.
