A dispute over a broken television ended with a smashed SUV and a trip to the police station for a 68-year-old woman in Ahmedabad's Delhi Darwaja area on Wednesday morning.
The incident unfolded at around 11 am when Champaben Sampatbhai Dantani marched into an ornament shop run by her neighbour, 39-year-old Vatsalbhai Patel, demanding that he replace her faulty television set.
Power Overload Claims Spark Rage
Dantani claimed that Patel was overloading the local electrical connection, which she believed had fried the internal circuits of her television.
When Patel and other local shopkeepers tried to reason with her—explaining that the fault was likely technical or caused by a routine power surge—the senior citizen flew into a rage.
Roadside Stone Used to Target SUV
Refusing to accept the explanation, Dantani grabbed a large stone from the roadside and attacked a white Renault Duster parked directly outside the shop. The vehicle belonged to Patel’s elder brother.
According to witnesses, she shattered the glass on the left-side passenger door before repeatedly striking the front windscreen and rear window pane, leaving the glass completely wrecked.
Madhavpura Police Move In
Patel called the 112 emergency helpline while Dantani allegedly hurled verbal abuse at bystanders gathered near the spot.
The Madhavpura Police arrived shortly after, took Dantani into custody, and registered an official case of criminal mischief and verbal abuse against her. Patel estimated the total damage to his brother's car between ₹15,000 and ₹18,000.
