Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Bajaria police arrested the main suspect along with two minors in connection with the stabbing of a passenger travelling in an e-rickshaw. Police also seized the knife used in the attack and the e-rickshaw involved in the crime.
According to Bajaria police station incharge Shilpa Kaurav, Suraj Sahu, a resident of Chhattisgarh, is a labourer.
