The incident unfolded on the morning of October 29 when Lalit Kharol, a resident of Bhatewar, was traveling toward Udaipur. Around 11:00 AM, he stopped at Dayashankar’s roadside dhaba situated opposite Singhania College after spotting his acquaintance, Govind Prajapat, sitting at the venue. Prompted by Govind, Lalit walked up to the counter where Shubam Salvi was managing billing operations to purchase a pack of cigarettes. Lalit handed over a twenty-rupee note, expecting a straightforward transaction, but the situation rapidly took a dark turn as counter staff brought up past financial accounts.
According to police testimonies, Shubam Salvi refused to accept the standard payment for the cigarette pack, claiming that Lalit still owed Rs 150 from previous visits. When Lalit calmly proposed settling the outstanding amount the following day, the situation escalated into verbal hostility. Without warning, Shubam reportedly stormed out from behind the counter, grabbed Lalit by the collar, and initiated a physical confrontation that quickly drew the attention of nearby patrons.
As tensions flared, Govind Prajapat stepped forward to intervene and defuse the scuffle between Lalit and the dhaba worker. Enraged by the intervention, the accused drew a concealed pocket knife from his apparel. In a swift, violent flurry, Shubam struck Govind on the leg before turning his weapon directly toward Lalit. Lalit raised his hands in self-defense, sustaining deep lacerations on his fingers, before the assailant inflicted multiple stab wounds to his abdomen and thigh. The brutal assault left both men bleeding heavily on the pavement as bystanders scrambled for safety.

The following structured timeline outlines the sequence of events that unfolded on October 29, 2026, starting from the victims’ arrival at the roadside dhaba up to their emergency hospitalization in Dabok.
| Time / Date | Location / Landmark | Key Individuals Involved | Incident Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oct 29, 2026 – 11:00 AM | Singhania College, Dabok | Lalit Kharol, Govind Prajapat | Lalit stopped at Dayashankar Dhaba on his way to Udaipur city. |
| Oct 29, 2026 – 11:10 AM | Dhaba Counter | Shubam Salvi, Lalit Kharol | Dispute broke out over Rs 20 cigarette payment and Rs 150 previous balance. |
| Oct 29, 2026 – 11:15 AM | Outside Dhaba | Shubam, Govind, Lalit | Scuffle escalated; accused stabbed Govind on leg and Lalit on abdomen. |
| Oct 29, 2026 – 11:25 AM | Petrol Pump / Dhaba | Gopal Kharol (Uncle) | Uncle arrived for refueling, witnessed attack, and intervened. |
| Oct 29, 2026 – 11:40 AM | Dabok Community Hospital | Medical Staff & Victims | Victims transported in Dayashankar’s vehicle for emergency medical aid. |
Amid the chaos outside the dhaba, a stroke of coincidence proved vital for the survival of the injured victims. Lalit’s uncle, Gopal Kharol, happened to arrive at a nearby petrol station to refuel his vehicle at that exact moment. Noticing a commotion and a crowd gathering near the adjoining eatery, Gopal rushed to the spot and was horrified to discover his nephew and Govind lying on the ground with bleeding stab injuries.
Displaying remarkable presence of mind, Gopal Kharol immediately arranged for emergency transport. With the assistance of local dhaba owner Dayashankar, both injured youth were loaded into a vehicle and rushed directly to the Dabok Community Health Center. Medical officers on duty administered immediate first aid, dressing severe wounds on Lalit’s abdomen and fingers, and stabilizing Govind’s leg injury before referring them for advanced evaluation. Meanwhile, local administrative authorities, including insights noted in past civic safety reviews like the recent Udaipur anti-corruption court sentencing, remind citizens of the critical importance of swift legal reporting in criminal matters.
As law enforcement teams secure statements from the victims and witnesses, local commercial operators along the Dabok highway corridor have expressed concern over safety protocols. Incidents of petty disputes escalating into violent street altercations highlight the need for enhanced police patrolling and stricter monitoring of roadside commercial establishments across Udaipur district, complementing broader regional safety initiatives seen during events such as the Udaipur panchayat elections phase 2.
“If my uncle had not arrived at the petrol station at that very minute, the consequences could have been far more fatal. We demand the immediate arrest of the attacker.” — Lalit Kharol, Injured Victim

उदयपुर जिले के डबोक थाना क्षेत्र में सिंघानिया कॉलेज के सामने स्थित एक ढाबे पर मामूली उधारी के विवाद ने खूनी संघर्ष का रूप ले लिया। पुलिस में दर्ज कराई गई रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, भटेवर निवासी ललित खारोल गत 29 अक्टूबर को सुबह करीब 11 बजे उदयपुर की ओर जा रहा था। रास्ते में सिंघानिया कॉलेज के समीप दयाशंकर के ढाबे पर गोविंद प्रजापत बैठा हुआ मिला। गोविंद के बुलाने पर ललित अपनी बाइक रोककर वहां रुका और काउंटर पर बैठे शुभम सालवी से सिगरेट मांगी। ललित ने सिगरेट के 20 रुपए चुकाए, लेकिन काउंटर पर बैठे शुभम ने उसके पुराने 150 रुपए बकाया होने की बात कही और तुरंत भुगतान करने का दबाव बनाया।
जब ललित ने शेष राशि का भुगतान अगले दिन करने की बात कही, तो आरोपी शुभम भड़क गया। आरोप है कि वह तुरंत काउंटर से बाहर आया और ललित की कॉलर पकड़कर उसके साथ मारपीट करने लगा। यह झगड़ा देखकर गोविंद प्रजापत बीच-बचाव करने के लिए आगे आया। इस पर आक्रोशित होकर शुभम ने अपनी जेब से धारदार चाकू निकाला और गोविंद के पैर पर जोरदार वार कर दिया। इसके बाद आरोपी ने ललित के पेट को निशाना बनाकर चाकू से ताबड़तोड़ हमले किए। ललित ने जब बचाव के लिए अपने हाथ आगे किए, तो उसकी अंगुलियों पर भी गंभीर चोटें आईं। आरोपी ने इसके बाद दोबारा ललित के पेट और जांघ पर चाकू से वार कर दिया, जिससे दोनों युवक गंभीर रूप से घायल होकर जमीन पर गिर पड़े।
घटना के दौरान एक अन्य संयोगवश राहत भरा मोड़ आया जब पीड़ित ललित के चाचा गोपाल खारोल अपनी गाड़ी में पेट्रोल डलवाने के पास ही स्थित पेट्रोल पंप पर पहुंचे। उन्होंने मौके पर भारी भीड़ और झगड़ा होते देखा, तो तुरंत दौड़कर घटनास्थल पर पहुंचे। उन्होंने बिना देर किए ढाबे वाले दयाशंकर की गाड़ी से दोनों घायलों को तुरंत डबोक अस्पताल पहुंचाया, जहां चिकित्सकों ने उनका प्राथमिक उपचार किया। इस सनसनीखेज वारदात के बाद से स्थानीय व्यापारियों और ग्रामीणों में रोष व्याप्त है। डबोक पुलिस ने मामला दर्ज कर आरोपी की तलाश तेज कर दी है और आसपास के सीसीटीवी फुटेज खंगाले जा रहे हैं। (Also read: Udaipur Anti-Corruption Court Sentences Former ASI Laxman Lal to 2 Years Imprisonment in 2013 Bribery Case | 13 साल पुराने घूस मामले में फैसला).
“मामले की गंभीरता को देखते हुए पुलिस टीम गठित कर दी गई है। घायलों का बयान दर्ज कर लिया गया है और आरोपी की गिरफ्तारी के लिए दबिश दी जा रही है। कानून व्यवस्था से खिलवाड़ करने वालों को बख्शा नहीं जाएगा।” — थानाधिकारी, डबोक थाना
