Knife Attack Attempt Mars Holi Celebrations in Guwahati

Amid the festive celebrations of Holi, an alarming incident unfolded on Survey locality in Guwahati city, where a youth allegedly attempted to attack another with a knife. The accused, identified as Raju Roy, reportedly tried to stab Ranjan Sharma following an altercation over a smashed liquor bottle.

Eyewitnesses described the scene as chaotic, with tensions escalating rapidly.

Speaking to the media, Ranjan Sharma recounted the incident, stating, “The youth purchased a beer bottle and then broke it. I asked him why he did that, then I asked him to put the bottle inside the dustbin. He did, but he then chased me with a knife and tried to attack me. I was lucky that I didn’t get hurt. He was abusing someone on the phone and was not in normal condition as he was already drunk.”
