A man was brutally killed with a sharp weapon in Noblenagar, Ahmedabad, while another individual sustained serious injuries. The attack took place near Shreeji Mandir, Dhanraj Enterprise, around 9:30 pm on January 29.

The deceased, identified as Bharatbhai Thakor, suffered a fatal wound to the left side of his abdomen. Another victim, Shiv Prakash, was also injured in the attack. The reason for the attacks is not yet known.

As per the complaint filed by Kankuben Thakor, wife of the deceased, Bharatbhai had left for work early in the morning. He works as a driver for an Intas Company stock bus from Ahmedabad to Sanand. When he did not return home at his usual time, Kankuben called him on his cellphone at 8:30 pm. He informed her that he was near Naroda Patia and would be home soon. However, subsequent calls to him went unanswered.

Worried about his whereabouts, Kankuben went to Krishnanagar bus station, where her husband usually parked his bus. As she passed near Shreeji Mandir, she noticed a crowd and traffic congestion. On approaching the scene, she saw her husband lying on the footpath, covered in blood.

Eyewitnesses informed her that near Anand Pan Parlour, Abhay Raha Mahajaniyavas and three unidentified individuals had attacked both Bharatbhai and Shiv Prakash with sharp weapons. While Shiv Prakash was rushed to the hospital, Bharatbhai succumbed to his injuries at the scene.

The Sardarnagar police have registered a case and launched an investigation under relevant sections of the law. The main accused, Abhay Raha Mahajaniyavas, along with three unknown individuals, is currently absconding. Authorities are reviewing CCTV footage from the area and recording eyewitness statements to identify and apprehend the culprits.
