Updated: Nov 20th, 2024
Ahmedabad Additional Sessions Judge Sanjay Kumar Thakkar sentenced four persons to 10 years of imprisonment in a case of robbery amounting to ₹2,000.
The accused, Hasmukh Modi, Chetan Makwana, Chintan Solanki, and Mahesh Rathod were accused of ganging up to rob money from a young man in 2023.
Public Prosecutor Ajit Trivedi stated that on January 14, 2023, the four accused stopped Rahul Thakor near the Nava Vadaj Rabari Vasahat over a trivial matter of not lending a motorcycle.
They robbed him of ₹2,000 and assaulted him with swords and knives, causing serious injuries. A minor was also involved in this crime and is likely to be tried under juvenile justice laws.
Trivedi drew the attention of the court to the recent surge in crimes in the city and incidents of people attacking each other with deadly weapons over trivial matters.
It is necessary to curb and control such incidents, the prosecutor said. The court should impose a sentence that sets an example for such criminals and instils fear of the law in people with a criminal mindset.
Considering the arguments, the court sentenced all accused to ten years of imprisonment.
