Nagpur city cops toil to save youth with knife stuck in stomach

NAGPUR: Cops from Kapil Nagar police station ran from pillar to post for more than five-and-half hours from Sunday midnight to save lives of two youngsters, one having a knife stuck in the stomach and another in the back as doctors brought them back from the jaws of death.
Though police’s efforts remained hidden, a gruesome video of one of the two youngsters, 18-year-old Kalpesh Raba, holding the knife stuck to his stomach had gone viral on social media triggering fear among citizens.
Raba’s close friend, Kunal Waghmare, too was attacked with knife in the same incident.
He had a knife stuck on his back.
While Waghmare rushed to Mayo hospital with knife on his back from the ground near Mhada colony where the two were attacked, Raba landed at the Kapil Nagar police station where his video was filmed.
From Kapil Nagar police station Raba was taken to Mayo hospital in a cops’ van which was summoned from patrolling duty.
Senior inspector Amol Deshmukh, who was having weekly off, reached Mayo hospital at 11.30pm followed by Zonal DCP Neelotpal and ACP Roshan Pandit.
“The doctors at the casualty were just providing some initial treatment but the youngsters needed surgery to relieve them of the knives stuck into their body.
No surgeon was available.
We, including DCP (Neelotpal), requested the chief medical officer (CMO) to summon a surgeon at the earliest,” said Deshmukh.
“We also had offered to shift the youngsters to some other hospital to save their life but the doctors assured they would do their best.
Senior officers had to relentlessly pursue with senior doctors of the Mayo including the dean,” he said.
City police chief Amitesh Kumar too was being kept informed about the developments at the hospital.
Deshmukh said that police ensured the pre-surgery examinations like getting CT Scan, X- Ray and sonography were done while the preparation for conducting the surgeries were being made.
“We deputed two constables with each youngster to ensure the technicians were conducting the process speedily,” said Deshmukh.
“Meanwhile, police had to co-ordinate with the victims’ friends and family members to arrange for medicines.
Some family members had to be also counselled as they were crying inconsolably,” he said.
Deshmukh said Waghmare was taken for surgery first as his wound was deeper.
“Police waited outside the operation theatre till both boys were operated upon and their knives had been safely taken out,” said the senior inspector adding another team at the police station registered the FIR and began rounding up the goons who had stabbed them.
In all, almost a dozen were taken into custody,” he said.
“Police left the hospital only after the operations were done and the injured shifted to ICU,” said Deshmukh.
