He then sat on the motorcycle, with an aim of running away with sahota’s mobile phone. Sahota, however, caught hold of Lala to get his mobile.
Provoked over this resistance, Lala, then took out a dagger and stabbed Sahota repeatedly on his head, chest, left forearm and wrist before fleeing away, Varinderpal Singh added.
“Lala had dialed his own mobile number and had also called an acquaintance. We were thus able to lay hands on him,” the police officers said.
The police, meanwhile, are conducting inquiries in the case.
