8 Men Storm Ahmedabad Office, Beat Youth With Sticks — Complainant Turns Out to Be a Wanted Accused

Ahmedabad: A brazen assault caught on CCTV has exposed a law-and-order breakdown in the city’s Bapunagar area, where eight men barged into an office and attacked a young man with sticks and sharp weapons in what police say was a revenge attack rooted in an old rivalry. The entire incident was recorded on the office’s CCTV cameras.

What Happened

According to police, the assault was carried out by a group of eight, including Rahul Marathi and Pramod Marathi, who stormed the office of complainant Malkhan Singh Chauhan. Investigators established that the attack was motivated by a previous altercation in the Shaherkotda area of the city. CCTV footage shows the attackers striking Chauhan repeatedly with sticks without restraint.

The Twist

The case took a significant turn during the investigation. Police found that Malkhan Singh Chauhan the man who filed the complaint is himself wanted in a separate criminal case registered at Shaherkotda Police Station. The complaint was submitted by post, and police confirmed that a assault case had been registered against Chauhan at Shaherkotda just days before this incident.

The attack, carried out in broad view inside an occupied office, has created an atmosphere of fear across the locality.
