Ahmedabad Crime Branch officials today arrested two key suspects in connection with the brutal murder of 24-year-old Javedali Ansari, which occurred on September 8 in the Rakhial area.

The arrested suspects have been identified as Mohammad Rakhib Shaikh (19), a resident of Rakhial, and Mohammad Amir Pathan (22), from Ramol. Police are still searching for four others involved in the crime.

According to the Crime Branch, the incident stemmed from a financial dispute. Ansari had lent money to Shaikh a few months ago, which Shaikh failed to repay.

On September 8, Ansari visited Shaikh’s home to collect the debt, sparking a heated argument between them. Later that afternoon, Shaikh and five accomplices called Ansari for a meeting close to his home.

During the meeting, a heated argument led to Ansari being attacked and stabbed to death by the group.

J H Sindhav, Police Inspector of the Crime Branch, said, “We have arrested two main suspects near Shardaben Hospital. The confrontation was triggered when Ansari went to Shaikh’s house to demand his money, which angered the accused and led to this fatal act. The other four accused are still on the run.”

The two arrested individuals have been handed over to the Rakhial Police Station for further investigation. Authorities are continuing efforts to track down the remaining suspects involved in the murder.
