A tantric, accused of murdering 12 persons in Ahmedabad, reportedly confessed to having killed the victims during his remand 48 hours before his death in custody.

As per reports, his ‘guru’ had introduced tantric Nawalsinh Chavda to the use of the chemical 15 years ago in Ujjain. In the initial questioning he had admitted to killing the 12 persons. So, the police believe that he would have killed the victims using the chemical. But now that he is dead, that is a matter of investigation.

On the other hand, the preliminary investigation has found that most of the murder cases were registered as accidental  deaths. Moreover, following the post-mortem examination, no viscera  was collected by the local police at the time, so no evidence regarding deaths due to any chemical was found. ..

Following the tantric’s death on December 8, the police will now investigate the earlier deaths and register a case of murder. Also, top police officials will be apprised of the PM report. .

Case details

On December 2, the Sarkhej police team, with the assistance of the Local Crime Branch (LCB) of Zone-7, prevented what could have been a chilling case of human sacrifice and fraud. Acting on a tip-off, the police saved a man’s life and arrested the accused, who posed as a tantric and exploited superstitious beliefs for financial gain.

As per the case, Jigar Gohil, a resident of Krishna Kunj Society in Ahmedabad, had approached Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone-7) Shivam Varma claiming a man named Abhi Rajput was lured into a occult trap by Nawalsinh Chavda, a self-proclaimed tantric.
