In Ahmedabad, a mobile shop owner was brutally attacked over extortion demands. The incident occurred late at night in the Vatva GIDC police station area. CCTV footage has gone viral showing a group of men attacking the victim with knives and sticks.
The victim, Kamlesh Samtani, runs a mobile shop named Radhe Mobile. He operates several such shops in the vicinity. He reported that for the past 15 days, a man named Jay Gadhvi had been threatening him via WhatsApp. Gadhvi insisted that if Samtani wanted to continue his business in the area, he needed to pay an extortion fee of ₹50 lakh.
Samtani was away on a family trip to Uttarakhand when he received a call from Gadhvi late at night. Upon returning to Ahmedabad, he went to meet Gadhvi around 2:30 AM at his shop. There, Gadhvi and eight other men attacked him with knives, sticks, and other weapons.
The entire attack was captured on CCTV. The assailants fled the scene after the attack. Samtani was rushed to the hospital for treatment. Following the incident, he filed a complaint with the Vatva GIDC police.
The police have registered a case against the nine attackers, including Jay Gadhvi and another man named Vishal, also known as Uliyo. They have initiated an investigation into the attack, which is classified as attempted murder and rioting.
Gadhvi, the main accused, reportedly lives behind Samtani’s shop. He has a history of criminal activity and has faced complaints before. The police are working to apprehend the attackers, but many in the community are expressing concern over the security situation in the area.
This incident raises serious questions about the safety of business owners in Ahmedabad. The victim’s family has called for swift action from the government to prevent such incidents in the future. They are worried about further attacks and demand stricter measures against extortionists.
Local residents are also questioning the effectiveness of the Vatva GIDC police. They feel that the police have been unable to control the rising crime in the area. This attack has served as a challenge to the police, highlighting the need for better protection for local businesses.
As the investigation unfolds, many are watching closely to see if the police will be able to arrest the suspects and bring them to justice. The safety of business owners in Ahmedabad hangs in the balance, and the community is hoping for a quick resolution to this alarming situation.
