Kanpur : An altercation over the price of a medicine in Kanpur's Rawatpur area turned brutally violent, leaving a 22-year-old law student with his stomach slit open and two fingers severed by a pharmacy owner and his aides.

The three accused, including the shop owner, have been arrested, while a fourth remains absconding, as police face allegations from the victim’s family of initially shielding the attackers and filing a false extortion case against the grievously injured youth.

As per various media reports, Abhijeet Singh Chandel (22), a first-year LLB student and a resident of Keshavpuram, went to the pharmacy near his house at around 9 p.m. on Saturday (October 25, 2025). He had an argument with the shop owner, Amar Singh Chauhan, over the price of a medicine, police told PTI.
