Bhupendra Jogi Attacked With Knives: Internet Sensation From Bhopal Famous For His Viral Meme Gets 40 Stitches
Naam Kya Hai? Bhupendra Jogi! The man behind this viral meme has been attacked in Bhopal with knives and he survived by undergoing 40 stitches
Bhupendra Jogi, catapulted to fame through a viral meme, faced a harrowing ordeal in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, as he fell victim to a brutal attack on a Tuesday night. Currently recuperating in a private hospital in Bhopal, Jogi bears the scars of the assault, having endured 40 stitches to mend his wounds.
His rise to internet stardom stemmed from a meme that swept across social media platforms, echoing the refrain, "What's the name? Bhupendra Jogi." Originating from footage captured during the 2018 Madhya Pradesh elections, the meme gained traction the following year, propelling Jogi into the limelight.
The tranquility of his routine was shattered as he made his way home from his garments shop in the bustling New Market area, accosted by two masked assailants armed with knives around 9 pm. Despite the veil of anonymity shrouding the attackers, law enforcement officials have initiated an investigation, filing a case under IPC section 307 (attempt to murder) at the Arera Hills police station. However, the pursuit for justice remains elusive, as no leads have surfaced thus far.
