Attack and firing over firecrackers at Bodakdev's Sky View flats

A dispute over bursting firecrackers on Diwali night outside Sky View flats in the Bodakdev area of Ahmedabad turned violent. According to a report by Sandesh, after a general argument regarding the bursting of firecrackers, a mob gathered outside the society and launched a violent attack on the residents of the flats. This incident created an atmosphere of intense fear and panic among the residents, videos of which have also surfaced.

During the attack, seeing the situation spiralling out of control, a guest visiting the flat stepped forward to protect the residents. To save his own life and those of the residents, the guest fired 3 rounds in the air using his licensed revolver in self-defence. As soon as the firing occurred, panic spread among the attackers and a stampede ensued at the spot.

Following the entire incident, the residents of the flats who were victims of the attack contacted the local police station. The police have filed a complaint against approximately 25 youths involved in the mob in this matter.
