Shocking turn at UK kabaddi match: Bloody brawl with swords and bullets leaves spectators horrified

In an unexpected and horrifying twist, a seemingly innocent kabaddi tournament in the UK exploded into violent chaos as two factions brandished guns and swords, leading to four individuals being critically injured. The Derby Kabaddi grounds on Elvaston Lane, Alvaston, were transformed into a virtual battlefield on Sunday around 4 pm, as reported by The Sun.

Although the exact trigger behind the violent flare-up remains shrouded in mystery, eyewitness accounts suggest an intense rift between two “rival gangs” which lit the fuse during the game. An onlooker recounted the bone-chilling moment he witnessed a man being gunned down, only to then be assaulted repeatedly with a sword.

Derbyshire Constabulary swiftly moved into action, apprehending four suspects on charges of firearm possession and violent disorder, as per Telegraph. The game, a traditional sport with Indian roots that has found fervent followers amongst Asian communities in the UK, had drawn large crowds. Heart-stopping footage circulating on social media captured panic-stricken attendees rushing to escape the mayhem, with over 20 police cars storming the scene.

A police representative stated, “We were summoned to Elvaston Lane, Alvaston due to a massive disturbance. Three individuals sustained injuries, one being grave, and were hospitalized. A significant police contingent remains onsite, and we request any witnesses or those with information to come forward.”

Jas Uksingh, a local of Derby, expressed his dismay on Facebook, lamenting the tarnishing of the beloved Punjabi sport in such a grievous manner. He stated, “Gang violence has no place in sports. The UK Kabaddi Federation needs to eradicate such senseless aggression from national tournaments.”

Derbyshire Constabulary Chief Superintendent, Emma Aldred, echoed this sentiment, urging anyone with evidence or video footage of the incident to provide it to assist in the ongoing investigation.
