Accused stabbed in judge's chamber

NAGPUR, JUNE 15. In a daring attack, four persons chased a murder case accused and stabbed him in a judge's chamber around noon today causing panic in the vicinity of the district court premises.

Mr. Anil Pawnipagar, an accused in the murder of criminal Som Kumar last year, appeared in the court this morning for the hearing. He was talking to his lawyer after emerging out of the court when he saw four persons approaching him. Apprehending an attack, he ran and bolted himself in the chamber of a judge. The four broke open the door and attacked him with sharp weapons, causing panic in the court premises. Thinking that Mr. Pawnipagar was dead, the assailants fled the scene of the crime.

Senior police officials rushed to the court premises and the victim was removed to the Mayo Hospital, where he was stated to be out of danger.
