The victim's attorney alleged the attack was premeditated.
As The Zioneer reported on Aug 2, police had sought a 10-day remand extension for three suspects in the case. The investigation is being handled by the Northern District Police.
The outcome of the confrontation remains undisclosed, and the investigation continues. No charges have been filed at this stage.
