A chilling incident of assault and robbery unfolded in the early hours of Friday near Sarkhej SP Ring Road in Ahmedabad. Four unidentified men on a motorcycle attacked three friends, leaving one critically injured and robbing them of valuables worth ₹13,200.
A case was lodged with the Sarkhej Police Station on Monday. As per police officials, the incident occurred around 12.30 am when Sandeep Rana, Anmol Sharma, and Ajaykumar Ram, all local hotel employees, were chatting near a service road opposite a construction site. According to Sandeep’s complaint to the Sarkhej Police, the group was confronted by four men on a Bajaj Platina motorcycle.
The attackers, armed with a knife, demanded the victims hand over their belongings. When Ajaykumar resisted, one of the assailants stabbed him in the abdomen, leaving him seriously injured. The attackers then snatched two mobile phones — a Samsung phone worth ₹8,000 and a Redmi phone worth ₹5,000—as well as ₹200 in cash before fleeing towards Bopal village.
Ajaykumar was rushed to Sola Civil Hospital in an ambulance by his friends and other hotel staff. He underwent emergency surgery and remains in critical condition. The victims described the attackers as four young men, two of whom wore woollen sweaters—one yellow and the other white. Despite the assailants’ efforts to conceal their identities, their actions have been caught on nearby CCTV cameras, which the police are analysing.
The Sarkhej Police have registered a case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, including those for assault, robbery, and attempted murder. Further investigation of the matter is going on.
R.K Dhuliya, Police inspector of Sarkhej Police Station stated that “We have recovered CCTV Footage in the matter and our team have started an investigation to track down the accused involved in the crime.”
