A dispute over agricultural land in Fatewadi allegedly escalated into an altercation in which a neighbour pushed a couple and threw the husband’s mobile phone into a nearby canal after he began recording the confrontation, according to a police complaint.
Bhavanaben Thakor, 40, told Sarkhej police that she and her husband, Sanjaybhai Thakor, had visited their agricultural plot on September 26 to begin installing wire fencing. They had also hired four labourers to dig pits for the fencing.
At around 8.30 am, their neighbour, Sarwan Ibrahim Chauhan, allegedly arrived and asked the couple to leave, claiming that the land belonged to him.
Dispute over land ownership
According to Bhavanaben’s complaint, Sanjaybhai asked Chauhan to produce proof of ownership or evidence that he had purchased the land or paid them for it. The exchange allegedly escalated into a physical confrontation.
Bhavanaben alleged that when she intervened, Chauhan pushed both her and her husband, causing her to fall and injure her back.
Oppo phone allegedly thrown into canal
During the confrontation, Sanjaybhai allegedly took out his Oppo mobile phone and began recording the incident. Chauhan reportedly objected to being filmed and questioned him about the recording.
The situation allegedly escalated further when Chauhan threw Sanjaybhai’s phone into the nearby Fatewadi canal.
Bhavanaben also alleged that Chauhan threatened to kill the couple if they returned to the agricultural plot. Following the incident, the couple and the four labourers left the site.
Woman approaches Sarkhej police
Bhavanaben subsequently lodged a complaint against Chauhan at the Sarkhej police station.
She stated that the disputed agricultural land had been inherited by her husband from his parents and formed part of the property recorded under Survey No. 31 in Fatewadi.
Sarkhej police have registered a case and launched an investigation into the allegations of assault, criminal intimidation and the dispute over the land. The allegations against Chauhan remain subject to investigation.
