Video captures two men attacking man with rock in Vapi
A viral video captured the disturbing scene of two individuals mercilessly hitting a man with a rock in Vapi. The footage depicts the assailants shoving the victim to the ground and attacking him repeatedly with the rock, causing injuries to his hands and legs. Shockingly, onlookers stood by without intervening, choosing to leave the site. Thankfully, the victim survived the brutal assault, leading to the subsequent arrest of the perpetrators.
The two individuals, identified as Pravin Patel and Chetan Patel, residents of Nani Sulfad in Bhadakmora village in the jurisdiction of Vapi Town police station, were apprehended by law enforcement. The incident occurred on May 23 when they targeted Anmol Sharma (25) in an open area behind Pravin’s residence. The police promptly responded to Sharma’s complaint and detained the accused individuals for further investigation. It was revealed that the altercation stemmed from a disagreement between Sharma and Pravin regarding Sharma’s presence near Pravin’s house. Prior to the incident, Pravin had warned Sharma to avoid loitering in the vicinity.
On the day of the attack, tensions escalated when Pravin spotted Sharma near his residence, leading to a physical confrontation. The video evidence captures the ruthless assault, with Pravin and Chetan taking turns striking Sharma with the rock while the other pinned him to the ground by restraining his limbs. Recounting his ordeal to the media, Sharma expressed bewilderment at the unprovoked violence, stating, “They were hitting me for no reason. On that day, they attacked me in the morning and broke my camera.”
Authorities confirmed that the video was dated May 23, prompting the arrest of the accused individuals. Despite their lack of prior criminal records, police have yet to conduct a thorough interrogation. Shedding light on the history of animosity between the parties involved, law enforcement revealed, “They had fought in the past over Sharma hanging out near Pravin’s home. On that day, the accused saw Sharma again and attacked him.”
The harrowing incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of intervention in cases of violence and the swift administration of justice. As the investigation progresses, the perpetrators will be held accountable for their actions, emphasizing the societal pursuit of justice and protection of individuals from harm.
