A young man was allegedly beaten to death by three brothers in Gujarat’s Amreli district, police said. The shocking incident took place near Bhakshi village in Rajula taluka. The victim, identified as Dinesh Solanki, had earlier been in a relationship with a woman named Sonal. About a year ago, Dinesh had eloped with her and taken her to Morbi. Sonal returned to her family after around two months, but tensions between both families never fully ended. Police said Sonal’s brothers had allegedly threatened Dinesh several times since then.
How the attack happened
On April 18, Dinesh travelled from Morbi to Bhakshi village to collect farm labourers. Later that evening, he went to a friend’s farm and was sitting there. At around 8.30 pm, three men arrived on a motorcycle. Police identified them as Rajesh alias Rakesh Solanki, Sursingh Solanki and Kewal Solanki.
The accused allegedly took Dinesh a short distance away to a secluded spot. There, they confronted him over his past relationship with their sister.
