In a recent incident in Ahmedabad's Vastral area, fourteen individuals have been arrested for allegedly attacking commuters and damaging vehicles using sticks and swords. The altercation is believed to have been sparked by a rivalry over a food stall, according to police sources.
The violent episode unfolded on Thursday night, with eyewitnesses capturing video footage of around 20 men assaulting an SUV owner and vandalizing nearby vehicles. The police revealed that the unrest originated from obstructions faced by Pankaj Bhavsar, who attributed his inability to open a food stall to his rival, Sangram Sikarwar.
Authorities were alerted when a group allegedly sent by Bhavsar began attacking people after failing to find Sikarwar. A swift police intervention brought the situation under control, leading to multiple arrests. Law enforcement continues to identify and apprehend additional suspects in connection with the incident.
