In Rajkot, claiming to be PSI's son, accused threatens woman trader and pelts stones

A shocking incident has come to light in Rajkot city, where a person threatened a woman trader by identifying himself as the son of a Police Sub-Inspector (PSI). According to a report by Sandesh, near Airport Phatak, around 2:00 AM on Diwali day, Gunjanben Ganatra and her partner Aniket Khakkhar were bursting firecrackers outside their shop. At that time, a person who arrived on a white Activa picked up a quarrel asking why they were bursting firecrackers on the road. This person identified himself as Abhijit Parmar and threw his weight around by claiming to be the son of a PSI.

Gunjanben stated that Abhijit Parmar and his associates came to the shop and used abusive language. When their partner started recording a video of this entire incident, the accused left the place. However, after a short while, they returned again. During this, a person named Kamil Sandhi also scuffled with Gunjanben and used obscene abuses. As the situation worsened, Abhijit Parmar started throwing stones at the shop, while Kamil Sandhi hurled a footpath block. The victim woman tried to contact number 112 for help, but the phone was busy and a police vehicle passing by also did not stop.

Not stopping here, when Gunjanben went to the police station to register a complaint, her partner's wife Seemaben informed her over the phone that the accused had again come to the shop, pelted stones and fled. This entire incident has been captured in CCTV cameras. Based on Gunjanben's complaint, Pradyumnagar police have registered a case against a total of three persons including Abhijit Parmar, Kamil Sandhi and another accomplice and initiated legal action. The police are currently conducting further investigation into this matter.

Rajkot city is an important administrative and industrial center of Gujarat state. Located in the Saurashtra region, this city is known for its trade, commerce and cultural heritage. In the past too, continuous efforts have been made by the police machinery to maintain law and order in this city, yet incidents of rogue elements harassing ordinary citizens often become a topic of discussion.
