Fleeing in ‘panic’, 4 men fall into well in Bhavnagar, 3 die
On the night of Monday into Tuesday in Bhavnagar's Ukhrala village, a group of 11 men was involved in a gambling session, unaware that they were being targeted by the police. As they gambled, they heard a sudden noise, which caused fear and panic among the group. According to DySP R R Singhal of the Bhavnagar Police, Mahaveersinh Uta Sindha noticed the sound and worried about its source.
This led the men to scatter in various directions, resulting in four of them falling into a concealed well. Among the four, Keval Ramesh Solanki managed to escape and is still alive, while the other three, Ajitsinh Uta Sindha, Rahul Popat Chauhan, and Nilesh Bijal Dabhi, tragically died from their injuries or drowning. The incident was initially believed to be the result of a police raid, but Bhavnagar Police found no records of any such raid in the area.
An Accidental Death (AD) report was filed at the Vartej police station, and postmortem examinations were conducted on the three deceased bodies.
