Bhopal's Kolar area turned into a crime scene this Sunday morning when a group of miscreants launched a savage attack on Bhopal history-sheeter attack victim Kuldeep Singh. Around 11 AM, the history-sheeter was beaten unconscious with crowbars, hammers, and sticks, his hands and feet crushed in a brutal display of violence.
Shocking Sequence of Events
Kuldeep Singh, a resident of Chorhata in Rewa with 12 serious cases registered against him—including murder, assault, extortion, rioting, and illegal arms possession—had arrived in Bhopal on Friday. Fresh out on bail, he came to meet his fiancée, a dentist in Netaji Hills, Kolar. Their engagement is set for February 6.
Driving his car, Kuldeep was ambushed when two unnumbered vehicles blocked his path—one in front, one behind. Assailants dragged him out and pummelled him mercilessly. They also vandalized his vehicle before fleeing. Bystanders filmed the horror but none intervened, though a brave young woman challenged the attackers on video.
Locals rushed the bloodied victim to Bansal Hospital, where doctors described his condition as critical. "His hands and feet suffered severe crush injuries," a medical source revealed.
Police Probe Points to Stalking and Old Enmity
Kolar Police Station in-charge Sanjay Soni suspects premeditation. "The pattern shows the miscreants stalked Kuldeep, tracking his movements before striking," Soni told reporters. CCTV footage from nearby areas is under scrutiny, and Rewa police have been looped in due to Kuldeep's criminal history Rewa.
This Kuldeep Singh assault reeks of old enmity, likely tied to his notorious past in Rewa and Jabalpur. No arrests yet, but authorities promise swift action.
Why This Matters Now in Bhopal's Crime Landscape
In a city grappling with rising street violence, this Kolar violence incident exposes glaring issues: bystander apathy amid smartphones, unchecked criminal networks, and vulnerability even for hardened criminals. As Madhya Pradesh sees a spike in targeted attacks—up 15% in urban areas per recent NCRB data—public safety hangs in balance.
What does it say about Bhopal? Even history-sheeters aren't safe, hinting at deeper gang rivalries spilling over. For residents, it's a wake-up call.
