Seven including a minor caught for firing on Gujarat's Jamnagar builder

RAJKOT: Seven persons including a minor boy were caught in connection with the firing on 40-year-old builder Jaysukh Pethadiya in Jamnagar on January 28 morning.
Those arrested were Sunil Kanjariya, Deep Hadia, Sunik Nakum, Karan Kesariya, Bhimsi Karmur, Mayur Hathaliya while the minor boy was detained. All are residents of Jamnagar and closely connected with absconding gangster Jayesh Patel.
Preliminary investigation revealed the role of Patel who allegedly wanted Pethadiya eliminated over an old land dispute in Jamnagar. Patel has several cases of land grabbing cases lodged against him and his said to have fled India.
Four assailants who came on two bikes opened fire at Pethadiya at his under-construction site in Ivapark on Lalpur road. “Mayur and Sunil Kanjaria were on one bike and Deep Hadia and a minor boy were on another bike. Mayur and Deep had opened fire on Jaysukh. Total three rounds were fired at the builder,” police added.
“We analysed CCTV footage from nearby areas and found that one white-colour bike was used in the crime. We traced the bike and identified the assailants,” police officials said.
Police sources said that Patel had threatened Pethadiya and his brother Hasmukh over the land dispute in the past too.
