  "content": "A shocking crime has come to light from Mahoba district in Uttar Pradesh, where more than half a dozen attackers hacked a 28 year old man with an axe right outside a petrol pump on the Kanpur-Sagar National Highway, severing both his hands close to the wrist. The attackers did not stop there, they also struck his head and legs with the sharp weapon before fleeing the spot, leaving him writhing in a pool of blood on the road. The victim's family has accused a local BJP leader of being behind the attack, while police have registered a case and launched a hunt for the accused.\n\nAttackers lay in wait outside the petrol pump\nThe incident took place late on Tuesday night in the Samadnagar locality that falls under the Kotwali police station area of Mahoba, when chaos broke out in front of the Chandel petrol pump. Jaivendra Singh, a 28 year old Samadnagar resident known locally as Vicky, had gone to the petrol pump to get fuel. According to locals, the attackers were already lying in ambush, and the moment Vicky reached the pump, they surrounded him from all sides. The assailants, armed with an axe, then launched a relentless assault. The blows were so severe that both of Vicky's hands were almost severed near the wrist. Even after that the attackers did not stop, striking his head and legs multiple times with the sharp weapon. Once the assault was over, all the accused fled the spot, leaving a badly injured Vicky writhing on the road, covered in blood.\n\nMother tried to tie her son's severed hands with cloth, condition critical\nPolice reached the spot as soon as they were alerted and rushed the critically injured Vicky to the district hospital. Meanwhile, his mother rushed to the scene on hearing about the attack on her son. Seeing him drenched in blood with his hands cut, she was left distraught and tried to tie his severed hands with a piece of cloth. Her desperate attempt brought tears to the eyes of the crowd that had gathered. At the district hospital, doctors administered first aid, but given the seriousness of his condition, referred him immediately to a higher medical centre. The injured youth's condition remains critical.\n\nFamily accuses BJP leader Shivpratap Singh Parmar\nThe injured man's father, Rajababu Singh, and brother, Alok Singh, have named a local BJP leader, Shivpratap Singh Parmar, and his associates as being behind the attack. Shivpratap Singh Parmar is said to hold the post of district media in-charge of the BJP Yuva Morcha. The family says Vicky had merely gone to fill fuel at the petrol pump when the accused, who were already present at the spot, targeted him. According to the family, this was not a sudden or spontaneous incident but a fully premeditated attack, carried out with the intention of killing him.\n\nPolice investigate, scan CCTV footage\nGiven the seriousness of the case, Additional Superintendent of Police Vandana Singh reached the spot with a police force and carried out a detailed inspection. Police have registered a case against the accused based on the injured man's statement and the written complaint filed by his family. Several police teams have been formed to arrest the absconding accused and are conducting raids at various locations. Investigators are also examining CCTV footage from cameras around the scene to correctly identify the attackers and piece together the full sequence of events.\n\nWhat this means for you\n• Across India: Incidents like this show how quickly personal rivalries or political disputes can turn violent even in small towns, so people should stay alert, especially at night near isolated spots like petrol pumps.\n• In Mahoba: For residents of Samadnagar and nearby areas, the attack has raised fresh safety concerns, and since police are scanning CCTV footage from the area, locals are expected to cooperate with the investigation.\n\nQuestions & Answers\n\n1.
