A PhD student from the Delhi School of Economics was allegedly attacked by a couple of phone snatchers with knives on December 2. The student, Sandipan, was stabbed multiple times and is now admitted at Hindu Rao Hospital.
This incident took place on the Naala Bridge at Patel Chest, a residential area where many DU students reside and is a lively point of interaction for many of them.
