In a shocking incident in Vijay Enclave, New Delhi, Lokesh Gupta, a confectioner, was brutally assaulted over a financial dispute. The attack occurred when Gupta visited Ajay Pal's residence to demand payment for a wedding catering bill of ₹2.5 lakh (approximately $3,000 USD), of which nearly ₹2 lakh remained unpaid. During the confrontation, Pal and associates allegedly took Gupta to the roof and inflicted severe lacerations on his hands using an electric grinder. Gupta was initially treated at a nearby facility before being referred to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) for advanced care, where doctors confirmed the injuries were grievous. Police have arrested Ajay Pal and detained two minors, with ongoing efforts to identify additional suspects involved in the attack. Deputy Commissioner of Police Kushal Pal Singh stated that strict action will be taken against all perpetrators.
