A man died of stab injuries in Ahmedabad on Wednesday after being allegedly attacked by two fellow boarders at a paying guest house in the Vejalpur area of Ahmedabad.
The victim, Hiren Solanki, 25, died of severe injuries and bleeding after being assaulted by his roommates Mahaveersinh Mahobatsinh Jadav and Ranveersinh Bharatsinh Sindhav over differences regarding opening the PG door, a matter over which there had already been fights earlier, the FIR stated.
The FIR was filed at Vejalpur police station on the basis of a complaint by Hiren’s father Mensi Ruda Solanki, 51, a resident of Gadu village in Junagadh.
Mensi Solanki stated that his son had been working in Ahmedabad for four years and had been living in a PG in Satyanarayan Society of Vejalpur for the last three months. On Wednesday, at 9.30 am, he got a call from the PG saying that Hiren Solaki had been in a fight and that he should reach Ahmedabad forthwith. Mensi Solanki and his younger son reached Ahmedabad, at which point, they were directed to go to GMERS Sola Civil Hospital where they found that Hiren Solanki had already died.
Other residents of the PG informed Mensi Solanki that his son, Jadav, and Sindhav argued over an alleged delay in opening the door of the room. The verbal spat escalated into violence, and Jadav allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed Hiren Solanki in the stomach. Jadav and Sindhav were booked for murder and placed under arrest subsequently. Further investigation is underway.
Inspector R M Chauhan of Vejalpur police station said that Hiren Solanki was working at a mobile store. The main accused, Mahaveersinh Mahobatsinh Jadav, had just arrived a week ago from Surendranagar to look for work while Ranveersinh Bharatsinh Sindhav, also from Surendranagar, had come to Ahmedabad 8 months ago and works in the marketing department of a private company.
Chauhan said, “All three shared the same room in the PG and the problem was over Solanki’s delay in opening the door.”
