IIT Delhi, was allegedly stabbed by two bikers on Monday. Pawar had deboarded a bus in Ganganagar in Meerut, where he lives, when he was attacked. He was rushed to a city hospital where he is currently stable, officials said.
The two assailants caught Pawar off-guard while he was walking towards his home. He later identified his attackers as acquaintances, who allegedly tried to kill him in an act of revenge.
