34 yrs ago in Ahmedabad, a chilling gangland killing – and a saga that continues
In early 1990s Ahmedabad, former Congress leader and Rajya Sabha member Rauf Valiullah met a tragic end when he was shot in the head outside the Madhuban Building in the Ellisbridge area. This politically charged assassination, one of the most sensational gangland killings of its time, marked the beginning of a decades-long saga.
Thirty-four years later, the Gujarat High Court has upheld the conviction of Iqbal Hussain Dhobi, alias Laliyo Kasambhai, a member of the Abdul Latif gang. Dhobi was accused of ordering the hit on Valiullah and must continue to serve his sentence.
