Assailants chop guard's fingers

In a bizarre incident, three men chopped off a security guard's fingers after he could not give them directions to Greater Noida on Friday evening.

The victim has been identified as Anil Kumar, 25. He works as a security guard at Gulshan Homz residential complex.

According to Abhay Kumar, the victim's brother, Anil had gone to the market to buy some vegetables when three men arrived in an Alto and asked him for directions to Kulesra village. The victim did not furnish any information because he was clueless about the location.

When he could not provide directions, the men pulled Anil into the car. "He (Anil) found himself in a precarious position and decided to raise an alarm. While resisting the kidnapping bid, one of the accused received minor injuries on his nose," Kumar said.

Following this, the miscreants drove the vehicle to a deserted location. They took him outside the village and forced his hands into the fodder cutting machine. The criminals then fled from the spot, as the victim fell to the ground.

A few locals reached the spot and rushed the victim to a private hospital for treatment.
