According to a report by Sandesh newspaper, an incident of violent clash and alleged firing between two groups with political backgrounds has come to light late last night in the highly sensitive Hathikhana area of Rajkot city. The dispute between these two groups of the same community escalated further due to old enmity or a battle to establish supremacy.
Details are widely circulating at the discussion level that deadly weapons were used during this quarrel and firing was done in the air. In this entire dispute, the nephew of an influential politician is being openly discussed, while on the other side, individuals with heavy political clout are also said to be involved.
Due to the involvement of a relative of a well-known politician, this matter has become extremely high-profile and a very tense atmosphere has spread in the area. Details that aerial gunfire was resorted to in order to spread fear in the atmosphere have spread like wildfire at the local level, although no official confirmation regarding this has been made yet.
Following the incident, a heavy uneasy calm is prevailing throughout the Hathikhana area. Surprisingly, despite such a major incident occurring, no official complaint has been lodged in the police station by either party so far.
Discussions have gained momentum among sources that instead of official registration of this incident, machinations are being woven to suppress it internally. Discussions that efforts are underway to settle the matter under political pressure right outside the police station are also in full swing.
Serious questions are being raised by local residents, saying that if such incidents happen in public and the matter is suppressed without registering a crime due to political weight, a threat arises to the security of ordinary people. Now the eyes of the people of the entire area are fixed on whether the police machinery investigates what actually happened and registers a crime or not.
