Swords used again as armed gang threaten resident in Ahmedabad’s Anandnagar, damage property

In another incident of an armed gang openly threatening a resident and spreading terror has come to light in Ahmedabad's Neha Park Society. A group of eight persons allegedly created a ruckus, abused and threatened a resident besides vandalised property. A case has been registered, and the police are probing the matter.  

Dhavalbhai Thakor, an interior designer living in Neha Park Society, detailed the series of events in his complaint filed at the Anandnagar police station. The complaint implicates two primary suspects, Sahil Desai and Partha Desai, along with six unidentified accomplices.

As per the complaint, the trouble began on the night of January 14, when Dhaval was allegedly summoned to Shubh Darshan Tower by Sahil under the pretext of returning borrowed money. Upon arriving, Dhaval claimed he was verbally abused by Sahil's associates and threatened with dire consequences. The attackers reportedly warned him to leave the area or face a major confrontation.

The situation escalated further on January 15 night when the group, armed with swords and other weapons, arrived at Neha Park Society in three vehicles. Witnesses reported that they shouted expletives, searched for Dhaval, and vandalised vehicles, including a decorator's Activa parked in the society. Fearful for his safety, Dhaval sought refuge at his uncle's house and later filed the complaint.

Police have registered a case under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including those related to unlawful assembly, criminal intimidation, and property damage. Preliminary findings suggest that the incident stemmed from a personal dispute, although the exact motives remain unclear. The police are working to identify the six unknown individuals involved and have assured the complainant and society residents of swift action.

“We have registered a case and begun our investigation. Ensuring the safety of the residents and bringing the perpetrators to justice is our priority,” stated a senior police officer.
