The driver identified as Farooq Ahmed was beaten by six people near Nandani area on the national highway on November 21, a police officer said.
Ahmed who was injured in the assault was first shifted to Primary Health Centre Dansal from where he was shifted to Government Medical College and Hospital, Jammu for specialized treatment, the official said.
This seems to be a case of road rage in which the accused came in two vehicles and stared beating Farooq, he said.
He said efforts were on to nab the other two accused who are still absconding.
