A 25-YEAR-OLD man from Rajasthan, working as a house cleaner in Ahmedabad, was stabbed to death allegedly by three men on Tuesday near the Vakil Saheb bridge in Bopal area of the city, police said on Wednesday.

Police identified the victim as Shiva Dinesh Kalasua, who was declared dead by doctors at a local hospital where he was taken after the assault.

An FIR was registered at the Sarkhej police station on the basis of a complaint by a cousin of the victim, Kishan Gattu Dhula Kalasua (25).

The FIR stated that on the intervening night of February 10-11, sometime after 12 am, he received a call from his brother who lives in Kalol, Gandhinagar, telling him that their cousin Shiva had been involved in a brawl near the Vakil Saheb bridge on Bopal and that he was not receiving calls.

In the FIR, Kishan said that when he and his wife reached the flyover in Bopal around 1 am on February 11, bystanders told him that a person injured in a fight had been taken to Saraswati Hospital by ambulance. Upon reaching the hospital, he found that Shiva had been declared dead by then and the body had stab wounds to the chest, back and ear.

However, he met two of Shiva’s friends there who told him about the events that led to Shiva’s death, the FIR said. It stated that the two friends told Kishan that they were seated inside a bus near the Vakil Saheb bridge when Shiva received a call from one Narayan alias Rajkumar and Shiva gave him the location. Narayan reached the spot with one Sunil Khokariya and two other men around 10:30 pm on February 10, and asked Shiva to exit the vehicle.

Consequently, an argument escalated into a brawl, where Shiva was allegedly assaulted by Sunil Khokariya and the two unidentified men. The two men then held Shiva as Khokariya allegedly pulled out a knife and attacked Shiva with it. Bleeding profusely, Shiva pulled out of the grasp of the two men and ran, crossing the road and collapsing at its far end. The three suspects then fled and have been booked under BNS sections for murder and voluntarily causing hurt at the Sarkhej police station in Ahmedabad city.

Further investigation is underway, police said.
