A shocking incident from the Wave City police station area of Ghaziabad has recently made headlines. What began as a friendly cricket match quickly turned ugly when a minor wide-ball decision by a young umpire triggered a life-threatening attack. Disturbing visuals from the fight have surfaced on social media, highlighting the severity of the situation.
The victim, identified as Atul, was umpiring the match when he declared a delivery wide after it was bowled by a player from the opposing team. This decision did not sit well with the bowling side, and protests soon escalated into a violent confrontation. According to reports, Atul was brutally beaten with a cricket bat and keys, while attackers also hurled casteist slurs at him and threatened to kill him.
After receiving medical treatment, Atul went to the nearby police station to file a complaint. Despite this, his family alleges that no concrete action has been taken against the perpetrators even two days after the incident. They have now appealed to higher authorities, seeking justice and urgent intervention.
The distressing video of the assault was shared by Aaj Tak on Instagram, bringing wider attention to the gravity of the attack. The victim’s family hopes that the footage and public outcry will prompt the authorities to act swiftly and hold the attackers accountable.
