In a post on X, the Consulate said, “The Consulate General of India in San Francis- co is deeply saddened by the tragic stab- bing incident involving an Indian national in Utah. The Consulate is in close contact with the friends and family and stands ready to provide all possible consular assistance. We remain engaged with local authorities and will continue to monitor the matter closely.” According to the court documents cited by The NewYork Times, the victim, identi- fied as Syed Sohail Uddin, an Indian- origin Muslim worker, sustained multiple stab wounds in an attack at the Valley Fair Mall in Utah on Monday, July 13 evening, leaving the victim hospitalized with mul- tiple stab wounds. Quoting court documents, the Times reported the suspect explicitly confessed to police that he was attempting to assas- sinate the victim because of his Islamic faith. Before launching the assault, the perpe- trator Peter Michael Larsen interrogated the worker about his identity. According to Luna Nunez, a coworker who later visited the victim in the hospital, the interaction began with tense ques- tions. Larsen asked the worker “where he was from, his name and if he was Mus- lim.” Immediately following the exchange, Larsen drew a knife and began stabbing the man repeatedly. The violence only ceased when courageous mall bystanders rushed the scene, pinned Larsen to the ground, and seized his weapon, reported The NewYork Times. Uddin, a man of Indian origin, is cur- rently fighting for his life. Adnan Moham- med, Uddin’s boss and close family friend, described the harrowing extent of the injuries, noting that Uddin had wounds all over his body and a trauma team was closely monitoring his heart. Reflecting on the sheer survival of his friend, Moham- med stated it was a “miracle” that Uddin was still alive. The ripple effects of the violence have left the local community gripped by fear. In the wake of the attack, Mohammed expressed the profound emotional toll the event has taken on his sense of safety, especially after witnessing the aftermath and encountering online vitriol, reported The NewYork Times. “I’m a father, and I feel unsafe for my kids to be here,” Mohammed shared. “It’s terrifying for me and my family. It’s trau- matising. I saw a lot of blood.” Salvador Mendez, an employee at the nearby Lids hat store, recalled the chilling moment law enforcement escorted the suspect out of the building. Mendez noted that the assailant was covered in blood and cast a terrifying gaze toward onlook- ers. “I’ve just never seen anyone look at me that way,” Mendez said, adding that “he looked at us with hatred.” Larsen was booked into the Salt Lake County Metro Jail on Monday evening on suspicion of attempted murder. - ANI Priyanka Chopra Jonas Gets Critics Choice Super Awards Nod; ‘Superman’ , ‘The Boys’ Lead Nominations A ctor Priyanka Chopra has secured a nomination for Best Actress in an Action Movie for her perfor- mance in ‘The Bluff’ at the 2026 Critics Choice Super Awards, adding another interna- tional recognition to her growing list of accolades.
