Two of them suffered serious injuries and were rushed to the civil hospital, while the third athlete sustained minor wounds. Police, led by the area SHO, immediately reached the spot and initiated an investigation.

Gaurav, a national-level taekwondo player from Lahori Gate, stated that the attack occurred around 6:30 pm when the trio was travelling home on a scooty. The assailants, armed with sharp weapons, sticks and iron knuckle dusters, launched an unprovoked assault. While the motive remains unclear, Gaurav recalled a brief argument with a few youths at the stadium the previous Sunday, which may be connected.

Lovepreet Singh, an athlete from Mohabbat Nagar who recently won a silver medal in Thailand, suffered minor injuries in the incident. Vishal Kumar, a kabaddi player from Arfaan Wala, was also among the victims.

SHO Amandeep Nahar confirmed that statements of the injured athletes are being recorded and a detailed investigation is underway. Further action will be taken based on their accounts.

Abohar also hosted a major marathon to raise awareness about drug abuse. More than 10,000 runners joined the event. The marathon is part of the campaign “Nashon se Door, Khelon ki Aur”, started nearly twenty years ago by Surinder Jakhar, former chairman of IFFCO.

The Jakhar Trust organised the sixth edition of the run. Rudrashree, great granddaughter-in-law of former Lok Sabha Speaker Bal Ram Jakhar, gave medals to the winners. The trust awarded Rs 1.7 lakh in total prize money. The organisers want to guide young people toward sports and away from drugs through such events.

Police sources said Pathanmajra has completely gone off social media and is not using his phone, making the task difficult. Raids have been conducted in Haryana, Punjab, Delhi, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, but he remains untraceable.

The MLA is wanted in a three-year-old case involving rape, cheating and criminal intimidation. His anticipatory bail plea in Patiala has been adjourned to September 10. The Haryana Police has also registered a case against him and his relative for obstruction and escape.

Pathanmajra claims he fled fearing an encounter, denying police allegations of gunfire. His arrest attempt came a day after he criticised the Mann government’s handling of Punjab’s flood relief operations.

The Punjab Police hunt for MLA Pathanmajra is expected to intensify in the coming days.
