Rajkot: BJP candidate from Rajkot (east) seat Arvind Rayani was booked for allegedly assaulting two brothers who own an imitation jewellery shop on St Kabir Road of the city. The two were assaulted for campaigning for Congress party during the assembly elections. Rayani's brother Shailesh Rayani and father Gordhan Rayani were also booked in the same case.
In a complaint filed by Gautam Limbasiya and his brother Dharmesh Limbasiya with B Division police station, they have alleged that Rayani and other accused entered their shop in Brahmaniya Park on St Kabir Road at around 10 am on Friday. They further alleged that the BJP candidate accused the brothers of campaigning for his rival — Congress candidate Mitul Donga — and started beating them.
Rayani and others have been booked for assault, insult and trespassing.
Meanwhile, a complaint was lodged against Dharmesh and Gautam by a woman Sheetal Limbar, accusing the duo of harassment and passing lewd comments. The woman alleged that the brothers used to harass her when she used to work in her house. Police said the woman had earlier told the brothers to behave or else she will complain to Rayani, who has his office in the same neighbourhood.
The woman alleged that Dharmesh and Gautam once again passed some comments on her on Friday so she complained to Rayani. Following the woman's complaint, Rayani and others bashed up the brothers. Police have booked the brothers for outraging woman's modesty.
