The victim, civil court advocate Madhusudan Mishra alias Kanchan Mishra, sustained severe wounds while simply performing a routine errand – delivering milk to his daughter’s home in Nayagaon Tulsiya, Hathua area.

The assault unfolded near Shivji Upadhyay’s house, where the duo pounced with knives, raining down blows in a calculated bid to end his life. Bystanders sprang into action amid the mayhem, ferrying the bleeding lawyer to Sadar Hospital. There, after initial aid, medics airlifted him metaphorically to a specialized facility due to his perilous state.

Hathua SDPO Anand Mohan Gupta, leading the probe, dismissed rumors of a pistol being used, emphasizing that only knives were involved. ‘This appears linked to bad blood from a case Mishra was arguing,’ he stated. The lawyer corroborated this, recounting how professional enmity boiled over into this near-fatal ambush.

Cops are now fanning out across the region, questioning witnesses and pursuing leads on the fugitives. This episode highlights a disturbing trend of targeted attacks on legal eagles, prompting calls for bolstered patrols around courts and better protection protocols.

As Mishra fights for recovery, Gopalganj’s legal fraternity rallies in solidarity, urging the state government to prioritize advocate safety amid escalating lawlessness. The hunt for the knife-wielding thugs intensifies, with police promising no stone unturned until justice prevails.
