Mob attacks security guard in Saijpur Bogha, 7 accused arrested

A 36-year-old security guard was attacked due to an old enmity in the Saijpur Bogha area, falling under the jurisdiction of the Krishnanagar police station in Ahmedabad. In this incident, a mob of 10 to 15 persons lured a security guard named Kapilbhai Lute under the pretext of a settlement and beat him mercilessly. According to a report by ABP Asmita, the attackers chased Kapilbhai on the road and assaulted him brutally with belts.

The details behind the entire incident are that on October 31, an altercation had occurred between Kapilbhai and other individuals regarding a refusal to loiter near a tea stall. To avenge this old enmity, the attackers staged a drama of settlement. On the night of November 1, a mob of 10 to 15 people, including Rahul Luhar, Lakhan Patil, Anand Patil, Ramesh Luhar, and Mehul Luhar, reached the spot under the guise of a settlement. According to a report by Sandesh, as soon as Kapilbhai came out, the mob attacked him and beat him severely.

The attackers were so fearless that they recorded the entire act of cruelty on a mobile phone. According to ABP Asmita, a person named Karan Luhar was shooting the entire incident to assert his dominance. Meanwhile, the accused hatched a conspiracy to ensure that local residents or passers-by did not come to the victim's aid. An accused named Mehul Luhar spread a false rumour among people nearby that Kapilbhai had harassed a girl. The purpose of shouting these falsehoods was to prevent anyone from stepping forward to save him.

Following the attack, the accused gave Kapilbhai a serious threat that if a police complaint was filed in this matter, he would be killed. After issuing this threat, the attackers fled the scene. Subsequently, the video of this attack was circulated on social media with malicious intent. The police administration became active as soon as this video of hooliganism went viral on social media.

Taking the seriousness of the viral video into account, the Krishnanagar police station team immediately initiated an investigation. The police conducted an intensive probe based on technical surveillance and informants. Based on this investigation, the police have arrested a total of 7 accused, including the main mastermind involved in the crime. Strict legal criminal proceedings have been initiated by the police against all these accused. Some individuals are still absconding, and police efforts are underway to apprehend them. Currently, the police have started further investigation into the matter.
