Bopal resident hospitalised after brutal assault by armed group

A shocking case of assault has been reported in Ahmedabad, where a resident was brutally beaten by a group of men wielding weapons such as plastic pipes, wooden sticks, and aluminium wires. The incident took place on March 27, near Sikotar Mana Mandir in Shantipura.

Arjunlal Somaji in his complaint to Bopal police has detailed the harrowing attack he endured at the hands of multiple assailants, allegedly led by Yogesh Tagji Meena, Pratap Meena, Bharat Lakhma Rot, Rahul Rajubhai Sarpota, and Pradip Singh Sajjansingh Bhati.

Arjunlal and his brother-in-law Ganesh Kalubhai Meena were on their way to work at Skycity Society when they were approached by Yogesh Meena and Rahul Sarpota. The two men allegedly demanded money from Arjunlal. When he refused, they became aggressive. Rahul reportedly slapped Ganesh twice, escalating the situation further.

Approximately 30 minutes later, a group, including Vikas Prakash Meena and Maheshbhai Somalal Baranda, arrived on a bike and another unnumbered black motorcycle. Armed with sticks, plastic pipes, and aluminium wires, they assaulted Arjunlal mercilessly. The complaint states that Pratap Meena struck him on the head with a wooden stick, causing severe bleeding, while Yogesh Meena whipped him with an aluminium wire. Bharat Lakhma Rot allegedly kicked him and used a stick to inflict further injuries. Additionally, Pradip Singh Bhatina reportedly emerged from the crowd and struck the victim repeatedly with a plastic pipe.

The brutal attack was witnessed by several bystanders, including members of the local society, who intervened and called emergency services. An ambulance transported Arjunlal to Sola Civil Hospital, where doctors treated his head wounds and administered stitches. He was later transferred to Shivam Hospital in Bhopal for further medical care, where he remains under treatment.

The accused individuals reportedly fled the scene following the assault and have since issued threats to the victim.

The Bopal police have registered a case and initiated an investigation under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita(BNS). Preliminary reports sugest that Authorities have currently arrested two individuals in related to the case while they are tracking others accused. Further updates on the case will follow as the investigation progresses.
