Bilaspur police investigate stabbing incident linked to Harela rooster sale

Authorities in Bilaspur are probing a stabbing that occurred during Harela festivities in the Sarakanda region. The incident took place in the village of Chilhati Dhanwarpara, where brothers Gautam and Ropesh Dhawan purchased a rooster for the traditional celebrations.
