Changodar police arrest six in Modasar murder case

On Sunday, Changodar police arrested six individuals accused of a brutal murder in Modasar village, Sanand district, hours after the crime was reported on Sunday morning.

The incident unfolded early on Sunday, when a dispute over the parking of a CNG rickshaw outside the residence of Bharat Raval in Raval Vas escalated into a violent confrontation. According to the police complaint filed by Bharatbhai, the altercation occurred around 8:00 am and quickly turned fatal.  

The accused — identified as Govind, Vishnu, Dhama, Vikrambhai, Vishal, and Reshamben Raval — allegedly attacked Bharat and his family with knives, sticks, wooden rods, and iron pipes. In the ensuing violence, Bharat’s father, Jilu Raval, was fatally stabbed.  

Four other family members, identified as Ashwin, Sagar, Shivu, and Prahalad, also sustained injuries during the assault and were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.  

Following the incident, Changodar Police lodged a case and immediately launched an investigation. Within hours, all six accused, including a minor, were apprehended from their residence as they allegedly prepared to flee.  

A senior police official stated, “The suspects were found hiding in their home. Our team acted promptly and ensured their arrest before they could escape.” 

Preliminary investigations suggest the attack stemmed from an ongoing land dispute between the victim’s family and the accused. Police are continuing their probe to establish further details and connections. Apart from that police have deployed teams in the area for security measurement.
