A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been established to investigate the death of a 30-year-old man in Dhandhuka town, Ahmedabad district. The SIT, led by Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP) Prakash Prajapati, aims to conduct a thorough and unbiased inquiry. The team, including Inspectors Raghu Karmatiya and Karan Vihol, along with Sub-Inspector S.H. Zala, will oversee the daily investigation and provide weekly progress updates.
Police have apprehended the primary suspects, Samir and Rizwan, and charged them with murder. Additionally, a case has been filed against approximately 125 unidentified individuals for their involvement in rioting, arson, and vandalism. Around 25 people have been detained in connection with the violent incidents.
The turmoil began when a collision occurred between a motorcycle, ridden by Samir and his wife, and a local youth’s bike from the Bharwad community. Subsequently, Rizwan allegedly assaulted Dharmesh Gamara with a knife, resulting in fatal injuries due to excessive bleeding. The tragic event sparked widespread unrest, leading to property damage by unruly mobs.
Law enforcement has deployed about 200 officers in sensitive areas and conducted thorough combing operations. Surveillance footage is under scrutiny to identify the perpetrators, while stringent security measures are in place at entry and exit points. Cyber units are actively monitoring social media to prevent the spread of misinformation.
SP Jat clarified that the incident was not driven by communal or social tensions but stemmed from a personal dispute between two individuals over a minor issue. He assured that the situation is now under control, with normalcy gradually being restored. The final rites of Dharmesh Gamara were performed amidst tight security arrangements, emphasizing the authorities’ commitment to maintaining peace and taking action against all wrongdoers.
