An ambulance driver was seriously injured after being allegedly stabbed during a clash between two ambulance drivers over a parking dispute on the Silchar Medical College and Hospital (SMCH) campus on July 31. Police said the altercation began as a dispute over parking and escalated into violence, leaving one driver critically hurt.
According to reports, the men involved were identified as ambulance drivers Raju Kar and Bappu Laskar. Witnesses and hospital sources said the verbal argument turned physical, and Laskar allegedly attacked Kar with a sharp weapon, inflicting wounds to multiple parts of his body — described by some sources as five to six separate injuries.
Several hospital security personnel who intervened to stop the fight were also reportedly hurt while trying to rescue Kar. Emergency responders rushed Kar to SMCH, where he remains under treatment in serious condition, hospital staff said.
Police arrived at the scene, brought the situation under control and arrested the accused, identified as Bappu Laskar. The incident briefly created tension within the hospital premises before order was restored. Authorities have registered a case and launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the attack.
Members of the Bajrang Dal later came to the hospital and demanded strict legal action against the accused. Police said the probe is ongoing and further details would be released as the investigation progresses.
