A late-night tea break near Ahmedabad’s Shah-e-Alam toll plaza turned into a terrifying ordeal for three friends who were allegedly forced into a car, driven around 20 km, beaten with wooden sticks and robbed at knifepoint. The accused allegedly demanded another ₹50,000 before the victims managed to escape.
The incident took place on the night of October 25, when Yash Parmar, a Danilimda resident employed at Shyam Firecrackers in Hathijan, was returning home on a motorcycle with his friends Naitik and Tushar Thakor.
The Kagdapith police have registered a complaint and launched a search for the three accused, identified as Tarun, Vivek and Chintu.
Three Friends Forced Into Swift Car Near Shah-e-Alam
According to the complaint, Yash and his friends stopped at a roadside tea stall near the Shah-e-Alam toll plaza after he finished his shift.
At the time, three men arrived in a Swift car and allegedly forced the friends into the vehicle. The accused then drove towards Gomtipur and continued to the Narol Bridge area.
Beaten With Wooden Sticks, Threatened With Knife
Near Narol Bridge, the accused allegedly forced the three friends out of the car and demanded money. When the youths said they did not have any money, the men allegedly assaulted them with wooden sticks.
One of the accused, identified as Tarun, allegedly brandished a knife and threatened to kill them. The assailants then allegedly took ₹5,500 in cash from Yash’s trouser pocket.
The accused allegedly demanded that the friends arrange another ₹50,000 from their homes.

The accused subsequently drove towards the entrance of the chali where Yash lived, allegedly to collect the additional money.
As the car stopped, Yash and Naitik seized the opportunity to get out and escape. Tushar also managed to slip away without the accused noticing.
Realising that the three friends had escaped, the accused allegedly fled in their car.
Kagdapith Police Launch Search for Accused
Yash later approached the Kagdapith police and lodged a complaint over the alleged abduction, assault, robbery and threats.
The police have registered a case and begun efforts to trace the three accused. Further investigation is underway.
