In the case involving a fatal attack and ear-biting on a youth named Tanish Patel during Navratri in Ahmedabad's Santej area, the main accused, Bhavik Gajjar, remains out of police reach even after 25 days. According to a report by TV9 Gujarati, despite the conclusion of festivals such as Navratri and Diwali, the police have failed to apprehend the accused. Amid claims that more than 5 teams from the Santej police and LCB are investigating, no concrete results have been achieved.
The pace of the police investigation has slowed down following the arrest of his cousin, Avan Gajjar, who assisted the accused in evading capture. Interrogations have revealed that the accused are constantly moving in vehicles to avoid staying in hotels across 5 states, including Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Punjab. As Bhavik Gajjar is a former youth leader, discussions regarding potential political pressure behind the police's lax approach have intensified among the public. Several pointed questions are now being raised regarding the police's performance.
