The Ahmedabad Crime Branch has apprehended the fifth accused in connection with the horrific murder of a spa worker who was brutally beaten with a hammer and hurled from a fourth-floor window in Naroda. The latest suspect, identified as 27-year-old Paresh Vishwakarma, alias Paresh, was tracked down in the Odhav area before being handed over to Naroda police for formal custody.
The arrest follows a relentless manhunt after a group of five men rampaged through Krisha Spa on the night of 5 August, leaving a trail of destruction that ended in a fatal fall.
Hammer Attack And Fatal Fall At Commercial Complex
The violent attack unfolded on the fourth floor of the Vishal Empire Complex near the Ranasan Toll Tax plaza in Naroda. Investigators revealed that a five-member gang barged into the premises, smashing television sets, ripping down CCTV cameras, and ransacking the shop.
During the rampage, the group turned violently on spa employee Dashrath Meena. The assailants repeatedly struck Meena on the head with a hammer and other heavy objects. While he was critically injured and bleeding, the men allegedly pushed him out of a fourth-floor window. Meena succumbed to the devastating impact of the fall.
All Five Accused Now In Custody
Given the extreme violence of the crime, the City Crime Branch deployed specialised squads alongside Naroda police to track down the fleeing suspects. Law enforcement officers previously arrested four co-accused—Vishal Barot, Rohit Singh alias Gabbar, Karan Chunara, and Kishan Chunara—while Vishwakarma remained on the run until his capture.
With all five primary suspects now behind bars, officers have booked the group under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for murder, rioting, and criminal conspiracy. Forensic experts and investigators are currently probing the exact motive behind the rampage and reconstructing the sequence of events that led to the murderous attack.
