Saleem Wastik Gets Brutally Stabbed

Friday morning, two men on a motorcycle pulled up outside Salim’s house. Both wore helmets, so nobody really saw their faces. They walked right in and, without warning, stabbed Salim several times in the neck and stomach. Then they took off, leaving him fighting for his life.

Neighbours rushed Salim to a nearby hospital, but his injuries were so severe that doctors quickly sent him to Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital in Delhi. Right now, hospital staff say his condition is still critical.

Salim’s no stranger to controversy. He’s known for his outspoken takes on religious issues, both on YouTube and TV, and his opinions have often stirred up heated debates online.

After news of the attack broke, his supporters immediately pointed to his recent statements as the reason for the violence. But the police aren’t making any calls yet.

Loni police have opened a case and are combing through CCTV footage from the area, hoping to spot the attackers. They’ve set up special teams to track them down.

There’s also a heavier police presence in the neighbourhood now, and officers are keeping a close eye on social media chatter. For now, the attackers remain unknown, and the investigation is still wide open.
