Two men in Ahmedabad killed their friend for money after luring him for drinks, and dumped his body in the Narmada canal.
The incident came to light when a missing person complaint was filed in Nikol police station by the family of 27-year-old Jayesh Vanzara after he disappeared on February 9 and never returned home.
As per the investigation, it was revealed that ₹18 lakh had been credited to Vanzara’s account for a business deal he had facilitated. Upon learning about this transaction, his friends, Sachin Panchal and Vivek Khatri, hatched a plan to steal the money.
They invited Vanzara for drinks at Narmada Canal Road in Gandhinagar, knowing his account details and password.
On the evening of February 9, when Vanzara arrived at the location, they laced his drink with sedatives. After consuming the alcohol, he fell unconscious.
Taking advantage of the situation, Khatri and Panchal transferred ₹5,500 from his account to their own. They then pushed Vanzara into the canal, abandoned his bike on a random road, and fled the scene.
Following the missing complaint filed at Nikol police station, the police launched an investigation. Panchal and Khatri were apprehended, and during interrogation, they confessed to the crime.
