Viramgam murder case solved with arrest of 3 accused and vehicle used in crime

The Viramgam Town Police have solved the brutal murder of Nareshbhai Jesangbhai Chavda, a 41-year-old primary school teacher from K B Shah School in Viramgam. Three suspects were arrested, and the vehicle used in the crime was recovered.

Pre-planned attack over an alleged affair

According to police, the incident occurred on January 27 around 7 am near Lakshmi petrol pump in Viramgam. The victim, Nareshbhai Chavda, was attacked with wooden poles, iron pipes, and a hammer inside a four-wheeler by three individuals, resulting in severe injuries. He was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to his wounds during treatment.

His cousin, Nanubhai Vasubhai Chavda, filed a complaint at Viramgam Town Police Station, leading to the registration of a case under various sections of the GP Act. Initial investigations revealed that Nareshbhai was allegedly having an affair with Harshaben Kalabhai Gohil, a married woman. This infuriated her husband, Kalabhai Hirabhai Gohil, who, along with his associates, conspired to kill Nareshbhai.

The accused and their roles

The following individuals were arrested for their involvement in the pre-planned murder.

1 Kalabhai Hirabhai Gohil – Husband of the woman involved in the alleged affair.

2. Ajitbhai Khengarbhai Gohil – A petrol pump and restaurant owner from Shankeshwar.

3. Jesangbhai alias Gokabhai Ramabhai Kataria – A farmer from Kuvarad, Patan.

Police crackdown and arrests

CCTV footage from the crime scene was analysed and statements from eyewitnesses and doctors at Gandhi Hospital, Viramgam, were recorded regarding the matter. Call detail records (CDR) of the accused were traced, leading police to their possible hideouts.

Acting on intelligence from LCB Ahmedabad Rural, police discovered that the suspects were travelling in a white Swift car from Ahmedabad via Dasada and Viramgam Bhojwa Bridge. A trap was set, and the vehicle was intercepted.

The police have launched efforts to recover the murder weapons and the abandoned vehicle used in the crime. Further interrogation is underway to determine if additional individuals were involved in the conspiracy.
