Ahmedabad is in shock after a brutal and brazen attack on one young man by a group of 4-5 others. The victim, aged 20, was attacked with weapons and then run over by a car on December 26, near the bustling Paldi neighborhood. Even more shocking: the incident occurred just 200 meters from the local police station, raising questions about safety and security in the city. Was this a case of vigilante justice or group attack?

The horrific incident was caught on camera, showing the victim,Shakeel Ahmed Shaikh, being assaulted and beaten by several men in the middle of the road before they dragged him to the side of the road and proceeded to run over him. He was declared dead at the scene by authorities.

Police have stated that the victim was known to them and was involved in "illegal" medicine trade. They are currently investigating the incident as a "conscious instance of murder" and have arrested 5 suspects, allegedly also involved in medicine trade, in connection with the case.

This story hits close to home in a city known for its bustling trade and commerce and safe atmosphere. Citizens are left wondering if they can trust the city's police force to protect them against such brazen acts of violence, and ask themselves if they would be next.
