Of the 13 named as accused, seven have been arrested
Ahmedabad: Seven men have been arrested in connection with a clash between members of the Bhoi and Darbar communities in Bhuval village of Daskroi taluka, in which a 65-year-old man from the Bhoi community died on Saturday nearly four days after he was hospitalised after allegedly being beaten by Darbar community men. On the night of Oct 20, an argument broke out between members of the two communities over a motorcycle passing through a garba venue, according to Kanbha police. The resentment from the incident allegedly led to the clash on Oct 22. Rama Bhoi, who was injured in the attack, died during treatment on Oct 24, after which his relative Ramesh Bhoi (75), a resident of Bhuval, approached the police. They were identified as Ramsang Vaghela (57), Girish Vaghela (29), Vipul Vaghela (24), Mitesh alias Kalabhai Vaghela (27), Rajendrasinh alias Rahul Vaghela (24), Sanjaysinh Vaghela (21) and Divansinh Vaghela (53). 13 accused have been named in the case and only seven have been arrested so far, according to police.
A case under BNS was registered the same day for murder, causing hurt with weapons, unlawful assembly, rioting, criminal intimidation and conspiracy. Police arrested seven Darbar men from Bhuval village.
