A man seeking revenge for his father’s death that happened 22 years ago in Rajasthan, allegedly rammed his SUV into a security guard in Ahmedabad after planning it for days, killing the guard.

Takhatsinh, a security guard at a party plot in Bodakdev, was struck by an SUV when he was riding to his work on a bicycle. The incident occurred around 10 am on October 1, resulting in Takhatsinh’s death on the spot.

Eyewitnesses quickly apprehended the jeep driver, identified as Gopalsinh, and handed him over to the N Division Police Station. Initially registered as a road accident, the case took a turn when suspicion arose due to the shared Rajasthan origins of both the victim and the driver.

Upon reviewing CCTV footage, police discovered that Gopalsinh had been waiting for Takhatsinh and deliberately rammed into him. The lack of remorse on Gopalsinh’s face further fuelled suspicion, prompting a deeper investigation.

During interrogation, Gopalsinh revealed a shocking motive, a 22-year-old revenge. In 2002, a quarrel between Harisinh, Gopalsinh’s father, and Takhatsinh in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, led to Takhatsinh running over Harisinh with an SUV. Takhatsinh was sentenced to jail for the incident.

After serving his sentence, he moved to Ahmedabad three years ago, fearing that he would be killed in Rajasthan.

Determined to avenge his father’s death, Gopalsinh meticulously planned the murder. He purchased a Bolero from Deesa three days prior and conducted a full recce of the area.

On the morning of October 1, he executed his plan in the same manner as his father had been killed by Takhatsinh years earlier.

The police had initially registered a road accident case which now has been reclassified into a murder case. Further investigation is on.
