Hearing him scream, the younger brother of the victim woke up and tried to chase the assailant but lost him, they said.
According to a complaint filed by the victim’s father, Santosh Bhagat, Vishal, his elder son, was sleeping in the house with his younger brother and sister Monday night when he was stabbed by someone unknown.
