Clash between two groups leaves 1 dead in Ahmedabad’s Juhapura

According to the FIR filed over a complaint filed by a resident, Kasim Yasin Shaikh, on December 19, his brother Nazim had laughed at Heena, the wife of another man in the area, identified as Sartaj Salim Shaikh. The two then had an altercation but the matter was said to be resolved.

Two days later, however, while the family was having dinner, they heard noises outside. Kasim’s son Zafar, brother Zulfikar and Zulfikar’s son Faisal, and another brother Nazim all went out to look what had happened.

They saw the four accused — Sartaj Salim Shaikh, Faraz Salim Shaikh, Sahil Salim Shaikh, and Nawaziz aka Raghu Anwar Shaikh — gathered outside. Later, the two groups started thrashing each other. According to the officials, Nawaziz succumbed to the injuries in the hospital.
Six people have been arrested in the case, said officials of the Vejalpur police station.

Nazim Yasin Shaikh, who was absconding since the incident, was among those arrested by the Ahmedabad City Crime Branch on Monday.
