Around 12 miscreants carrying sharp weapons and sticks entered a house in Ludhiana’s Rishi Nagar and attacked a man and his father late on Thursday evening.The shocking aspect of the incident was that the attackers were connected live via WhatsApp video call to a gangster in jail. The gangster was issuing orders from behind the bar while his henchmen were carrying out the operation. The CCTV footage of the incident has also surfaced, which shows the suspects entering the house, armed with swords and axes.Rahul, who was seriously injured in the attack, is currently battling for his life at the DMCH. From his hospital bed, the victim narrated the entire incident in front of the camera.Rahul, who suffered head injuries and multiple stitches, said he was sitting at home with his family in the evening when about 12 miscreants came, broke the main door of the house and entered inside. They were armed with sharp weapons and an illegal weapon. They repeatedly struck him on the head and forehead with the butt of the pistol.Rahul revealed that one of the attackers was holding a mobile phone with a WhatsApp video call in progress. On the other end of the call was the jailed gangster, Movish Bains. The latter was shouting from jail, “Beat him, abuse him”.“When my father Bagga Lal saw me lying in a pool of blood and ran to my rescue, the assailants did not spare him either. They assaulted my father also. They pointed the pistols at me and the father and threatened to kill us if we made any noise,” Rahul said.The attackers included Yuvraj Sidhu, his brother Vishal, Tanish, Sam and Mutu. There were several assailants who are being identified through the CCTV footage.Sources said both sides had openly challenged each other on social media. The rivalry had led to the same attackers appearing outside Rahul’s house about a week ago, abusing him and threatening. Based on the statements of Rahul and his father Bagga Lal and the CCTV footage, the police launched an investigation. The police are also conducting a probe into the entire network operating from the prison.SHO, PAU police station, Amritpal Singh, said the statement of the victims were yet to be recorded and action would be taken in the case as per law.
