Paresh Rabari had a quarrel with Suleiman in the morning, in the afternoon, Suleiman stabbed Rabari multiple times. Injured Paresh Rabari was taken to the hospital, but he could not survive.
20-year-old Paresh Rabari was a resident of Madhapar near Bhuj in Kutch while Suleiman Sana is a resident of Kotaknagar there. Both of them had an argument over some issue at a hotel on the Madhapar highway in the morning. In the afternoon, Suleiman called Paresh near a colony of the Lohana community situated near the Madhapar bus station.
When Paresh Rabari reached the spot, Suleiman stabbed him with a knife. Paresh Rabari sustained multiple injuries and Suleiman fled the spot leaving Rabari behind in a pool of blood. After this, Paresh called his elder brother Kamlesh Rabari and informed him about the incident. Kamlesh and others reached the spot and took the injured youth to the hospital by rickshaw.
Paresh died after a brief treatment at the hospital as the wounds on his chest proved to be fatal. Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased youth as well as the leaders of the community also reached the hospital in large numbers. The family refused to accept the body till the accused was arrested.
However, as soon as the incident was reported, local police officials as well as top officials including the district police chief and border range IG also reached the spot and took immediate action and the accused was arrested. Following this, the family members accepted the body in the evening and performed the last rites at night.
