45-year-old man stabbed to death in Morbi village

Rajkot: A man was stabbed to death by three unidentified assailants in Jamudia village of Morbi taluka on Saturday night.
Police said the accused, who had come on a bike, had allegedly stabbed Varsing Vahonia (45) to death.
“The accused had actually come to attack a labourer identified as Sunil Bhadia. The accused accosted Bhadia, brandishing a knife.Bhadia thought that the accused were robbers and that they had come to rob him. He wriggled himself out of their grip and started running, crying for help,” said an official from Morbi taluka police station.
“Hearing the cries, Vahonia, who used to work in a barber’s shop, rushed to Bhadia’s rescue. While Bhadia escaped, Vahonia was caught by the accused. One of the accused dealt a stabbing wound in Vahonia’s chest. Vahonia was rushed to Morbi Civil Hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival,” the official said.
The police have started investigation on two points — whether Bhadia had an enmity with anyone or whether the accused were robbers. “We are checking the footage of the CCTVs installed in the factories along Lakhdhirpur Road to find out whether any bike-borne assailants had passed by,” added the official.
Vahonia was from Kali village of Jhalod taluka in Dahod district. He is survived by his wife and four children — two sons and two daughters.
