Two brothers allegedly stabbed their mother’s lover to death, sliced his intestines and tossed them in the air in a grisly crime in Gujarat earlier this week. The two siblings had a resentment towards the victim, Ratanji Thakor (53), as they believed that the victim’s relationship with their mother “insulted” and “dishonoured” their dead father, officials said.

The incident took place in Gujarat’s Gandhinagar district on January 26 when the victim, a mason by profession, was building a house with his fellow workers.

According to the police, the accused – Sanjay Thakor (27) and Jayesh Thakor (23) – attacked Ratanji with an iron rod in broad daylight. They then stabbed him in his stomach multiple times. During this time, the victim’s intestines came out. But shockingly, the two men did not stop.

The accused took out the victim’s intestines, tossed them into the air, and sliced it.

Many people who witnessed the incident expressed massive disgust and shock. According to a senior official, some labourers tried to save the victim during the horrifying incident, but failed to do so.

The victim, a mason by profession, had an affair with the accused’s mother since many years.

The two brothers disapproved of the relationship, saying that they were facing embarrassment in the family, officials said.

According to the victim’s son, Ajay, who filed an FIR against the accused, told the police that the two brothers had warned his father to stay away from their mother earlier. They even fought with the victim many times, he said. Following a dispute, the villagers also held a panchayat on the issue but did not find any solution.

The accused fled the scene on a bike after the incident.

The police traced them down through a mobile location within a few hours after the crime and arrested them. The weapons used in the murder have also been seized, officials said.

A case has been registered against the accused for murder and inciting murder.

Gandhinagar:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said his government in the first 100 days of its third term had tried to address every sector and factor for rapid progress of the country.

Addressing the 4th edition of Global Renewable Energy Investors Meet and Expo (RE-INVEST 2024) in Gandhinagar, he said not just Indians but the entire world feels India is the best bet for the 21st century.

“In the first 100 days (of the Union government’s third term) you can witness our priorities, speed and scale. We have tried to address every sector and factor which are required for rapid progress of the country,” the PM said.

“India’s diversity, scale, capacity, potential and performance are unique and that is the reason I say Indian solutions for global application,” he added.

India is preparing the base for development for the next 1000 years and the focus is not just to reach the top but to sustain the rank, Modi asserted.

“For us green future and net zero are not just fancy words. These are requirements of the country and we are committed to achieve it. The government is working to develop Ayodhya and 16 other cities as model solar cities,” he said at RE-INVEST 2024.

He said 140 crore Indians have pledged to make the country the world’s third largest economy.

The children are entertained by taking them to gaming zones. I am extremely overwhelmed to see this happiness and enthusiasm of the children, said Shah, who is on a two-day visit to Gujarat.

Shah interacted with children, participated in entertainment activities, and distributed toys, a release said.

Later, Shah went to Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad to watch the India-Pakistan World Cup cricket match.
