SHOCKING! Man stabbed 24 times in Kerala's Thrissur for not wishing assailant 'Happy New Year'

A 22-year-old man, Suhaib, was stabbed 24 times in Thrissur, Kerala, for not wishing his attacker, Shafi, a Happy New Year, leaving him in critical condition.

A shocking and bizarre incident occurred in Mulloorkara in Kerala's Thrissur, where a 22-year-old man, Suhaib, was brutally stabbed 24 times for not offering New Year's greetings to his attacker, Shafi. Suhaib, a native of Attoor, is currently in critical condition at the Medical College Hospital.

The incident took place at midnight when Suhaib was riding his bike near a bus stop. Shafi, who was waiting at the bus stop with his companions, was enraged when Suhaib exchanged New Year's greetings with everyone except him. This seemingly trivial oversight triggered a violent attack, with Shafi stabbing Suhaib multiple times.

Shafi, the accused, has a history of criminal behavior, with charges under the Kerala Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act (KAAPA). He is also reportedly involved in a ganja case, highlighting his repeat offender status.
