Man who disappeared from former Gondal MLA’s residence found dead

A young man who had mysteriously disappeared following an altercation at the bungalow of a former MLA, was later identified as the victim of a fatal road accident near Rajkot.

The case, which had puzzled local authorities for several days, took a dramatic turn when the deceased man was confirmed as the missing individual.

Ratanlal Shankarlal Jaat, a local vendor in Gayatrinagar, stated that the incident began on March 2 when he and his son Rajkumar were involved in an argument with former MLA Jayrajsinh Jadeja’s son. 

The two were walking near the bungalow of the former MLA when they were stopped by his son Ganesh Jadeja along with 7-10 other individuals. 

Jaat alleged that they were brutally beaten by Jadeja and his associates. After the attack, Rajkumar and Ratnalal returned home, but Rajkumar feeling that the assault had been unjust, decided to return to the MLA’s bungalow later that night. Rajkumar mysteriously went missing after that.

Ratanlal, desperate to find his son, reported the incident to the local Gondal police. When the authorities were unable to make progress, Ratnalal filed a written complaint with the Rajkot superintendent of police (SP). An investigation into his son's disappearance was then launched.

Three days ago, an unidentified young man was found involved in a fatal road accident near Kuvadva, Rajkot.  During the investigation, police noticed a striking resemblance between the unidentified deceased youth and Rajkumar Jaat. 

Further inquiries confirmed that the young man who had died in the accident was Rajkumar, who had disappeared earlier.

The case has shocked the local community, and authorities are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident and the death.
