Asked to move parked truck, 5 men attack dhaba owner in Mohali's Lalru
A 32-year-old dhaba owner was hospitalised with critical head injuries after being brutally attacked with a sharp-edged weapon and baseball bat by a group of men at his eatery in Lalru's Mamauli village on Sunday night. An altercation with a tempo truck driver outside the dhabha spiralled into the vicious attack, leaving the victim in a pool of blood, said police. The violent attack was captured on CCTV cameras at the dhaba, helping police swiftly identify and arrest the main accused, Kulbir Singh, alias Kaka, of Manauli Surat village near Banur. Hunt is on for the absconding accused, including Karamjit, alias Madi, Gurjinder, alias Golu, Gagandeep, alias Gagan, and Ramandeep, alias Manna. The victim, Dalwinder Singh, alias Rinku, a resident of Shekhan Majra, Mohali, continues to battle for life at a private hospital, said police. It all started around 10 pm, when Kulbir Singh parked his tempo truck outside Dalwinder's Pardhan Dhaba while he was sipping tea. Noticing this, an employee at the dhabha asked him to park his vehicle elsewhere and also sought money, enraging Kulbir and leading to heated arguments. The staff alerted the dhaba owner, who stepped out to confront Kulbir and asked him to leave. Now furious with rage, Kulbir returned with more men and attacked Rinku with an axe-like weapon and baseball after dragging him out of his office. The savage attack knocked Dalwinder unconscious instantly, but the accused continued to strike his head and legs with the sharp-edged weapon, inflicting grievous injuries. Shocked staff members and customers did not intervene. As the accused fled the spot, the victim was rushed to a nearby private hospital. Manpreet Singh, superintendent of police (SP, Rural), said after being informed, police immediately arrested the key accused. 'We won't tolerate any lawlessness and thus will soon nab all absconding accused,' the SP said. The victim has been running the dhaba on lease since last year, as per the property owner. Avtar Singh, sarpanch of Mamauli village, threatened a roadblock in case of police inaction. All accused have been booked under relevant BNS sections for attempt to murder,voluntarily causing hurt,voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means, wrongful restraint and rioting at the Lalru police station on the statement of victim's brother Kulwinder Singh.

Family want to use their grief to save lives
The death of Pardeep Nagra came as a complete surprise to his loved ones. The 26-year-old, from Wolverhampton, played ice hockey, ran his own business, and was about to get married. He died of a sudden cardiac arrest in 2008, despite having no previous heart issues. His family have since become passionate campaigners, organising screenings for other young people to get checked out. Pardeep's brother Kulbir, who has been nominated for a Pride of Britain award, has been raising money through a memorial fund with the Cardiac Risk in the Young (Cry) charity. In memory of his brother, he has helped raise more than £70,000 to test more than 1,200 young people. "We're trying to turn a negative into a superpower and do something for the community," he told BBC Radio WM. The next screening event is being held at the Grand Palace in Wolverhampton on Sunday. The event is already fully booked, with some 100,000 people now on a waiting list, partially thanks to the Nagra family's campaigning. Kulbir said the family wanted to "keep going", recalling a moment they helped a young person identify they were at risk. "It was quite shocking because there was a child coming out of the room in tears in hysterics," he said. "I had a five minute conversation with him and it showed we were making a difference." The family are particularly keen to work with sports clubs and schools, as they want all children and young adults to get screened. They hope to go back to Pardeep's old school in the summer, adding the simple test could benefit other families and "save them from heartbreak".
