A group of men armed with sticks and iron pipes stormed into a residence in Chandkheda, Ahmedabad, assaulted the occupants, vandalised property, and issued death threats before fleeing the scene.
A complainant was lodged by Kishabhai Rukhdbhai Bharwad (31), an animal husbandry businessman residing at Banglawadi Takadi, Chandkheda. The attack took place on March 19, around 9.30 am.

Armed with sticks, iron pipes, and a knife, they launched an unprovoked attack.
The accused allegedly illegally entered the house, beat Kishabhai with sticks, and caused extensive damage by smashing window panes and household items. The mob also behaved indecently with Sejalben, Kishabhai’s sister-in-law, while threatening to kill the family if they did not leave the area.
The attackers claimed to be locals from Motera area who threatened the family, saying outsiders have no place here and they should vacate or face death, the complaint reads. Kishabhai also mentioned that during the attack, he managed to call the police helpline 100 while his family members screamed for help.
