A serious law-and-order controversy has emerged in Patna after a youth was allegedly stabbed in the abdomen in broad daylight under the SK Puri police station area. The attack, which reportedly took place on June 11, was captured on CCTV and has since circulated widely on social media.

The victim, identified as Gautam Raj Singh, was initially admitted to a private hospital before being shifted to AIIMS Patna due to the severity of his injuries. Family members have alleged that despite approaching police and submitting a written complaint, no FIR was registered for four days.

The family further claims that repeated requests to local police officials went unanswered. The incident has drawn criticism from social activist Subhash Chandra Sharma, who has demanded strict action against officers allegedly responsible for the delay. The case has reignited concerns over police responsiveness and accountability in handling serious criminal incidents in the state capital.
