Ahmedabad court denies bail to two accused in Paldi murder case

Ahmedabad: A city sessions court here on Friday denied regular bail to two persons accused of the brutal killing of 38-year-old Naishal Thakor in full public view in Paldi in Sep 2025. Two of the 14 accused persons in this case, Jayesh Thakor and Chintan Khatik, sought bail, claiming that they were not named in the FIR. However, public prosecutor Sudhir Brahmbhatt vehemently opposed the bail pleas, and the investigating officer filed an affidavit telling the court that it was a ghastly act. After the hearing, additional city sessions Judge P B Patel rejected the bail pleas, considering the gravity of the offence. According to case details, the crime branch arrested the two — Jayesh alias Chandu Rajubhai Thakor, 24, from Thakorvas, Shahwadi, and Bhavik alias Bholu Dhanjibhai Makwana, 21 — last Sep. The killing, described by police as an act of revenge, was extremely violent.CCTV footage showed seven to eight men attacking Thakor with sharp weapons and even crushing him with a vehicle near Anjali flyover, just 200 metres from the police station. The attack took place early in the morning. Officials said that Thakor had earlier killed the brother of one of the accused. |
