Mughalsarai: Man Arrested for Brutal Attack With Centering Board
Mughalsarai police arrest 20-year-old Dilip Singh for attacking a man with a centering board following a dispute near a chicken shop.
In a shocking incident of violence in the Chandauli district, the Mughalsarai police have arrested a 20-year-old man for an attempted murder involving a centering board. The suspect, identified as Dilip Singh (also known as Ajay Singh), was apprehended on Saturday after a manhunt following a lethal assault that left a bystander severely injured.
A Dispute That Turned Deadly
The incident unfolded on the Tengra Mor-Jivnathpur road, near a local chicken shop. What began as a petty disagreement quickly spiraled into a violent confrontation. According to police reports, a heated argument broke out between Dilip Singh, a resident of Hamidpur village, and a shop employee named Satyam, who is also known as Lambu.
As the two engaged in a verbal spat and exchanged abuses, a local resident named Mohammad Ghalib, son of Abdul Aziz from Gopalpur, stepped in. Ghalib attempted to intervene and pacify the situation, but his efforts to bring peace only shifted the aggressor's focus.
The Brutal Assault
In a sudden and violent turn, Dilip Singh allegedly seized a centering board—a heavy construction plank—and struck Mohammad Ghalib forcefully on the head. The impact caused severe injuries to Ghalib, who was left fighting for his life. Following the attack, the victim filed a formal complaint, prompting the authorities to take immediate action.
The Mughalsarai Kotwali station registered a case under crime number 569/2026. The accused has been charged under sections 109(1), 115(2), and 352 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
The Police Operation and Arrest
Under the directives of the Chandauli Superintendent of Police, a dedicated team was formed to track down the fugitive. The operation was led by Station House Officer (SHO) Arjun Singh, supported by Sub-Inspector Suraj Rawat and Head Constable Sanoz Singh.
Acting on a crucial tip-off, the police team intercepted and arrested Dilip Singh near the Patanwa intersection. During the interrogation, the accused provided information that led the police to recover the centering board used in the commission of the crime.
The police have now initiated further legal proceedings to ensure the accused faces justice for the attempted murder.
