The incident reportedly took place in Belsand village, which falls under the Madhopur police station area, and has triggered a major police operation to track down those responsible.
According to reports, the attack is believed to be linked to a long-standing personal dispute. The assailants were allegedly lying in wait and launched a sudden attack on Tiwari, leaving him with severe injuries.
Family members immediately rushed him to the Model Sadar Hospital for emergency treatment. However, due to the seriousness of his condition, doctors reportedly referred him to Patna for advanced medical care.

Authorities are now probing all angles of the case, including the alleged old enmity that may have led to the violent incident. Officials have not yet disclosed the identities of the suspects or made any arrests. Further details are expected to emerge as the investigation progresses.
The unfortunate development comes at a time when Pankaj Tripathi is gearing up for one of the biggest projects of his career.
