RAJKOT: Three rounds were fired on the car of BJP leader Zina Dervadia in Chuda of Surendranagar district on Wednesday night. Dervadia has accused three unidentified assailants of the crime.
In his complaint with Chuda police station, Dervadia said that while he was travelling in his car from Gandhinagar to his village Lakhchokiya near Chotila in Surendranagar district, he spotted three persons on a two-wheeler driving on the middle of the road.
According to police, Dervadia honked repeatedly, but to no avail. The trio kept driving in the middle of the road. However after some time, the trio gave Dervadia’s car a side.
“It was while Dervadia was overtaking the trio, one of them took out a pistol and fired three rounds at the car. One of the bullets hit the glass of the side window, the other bullet hit the rear door of the car and the third bullet hit the boot of the car,” said D B Basiya, Limbdi deputy superintendent of police.
Dervadia drove down to Sayla police station which transferred his complaint to Chuda police station.
Dervadia had gone to Gandhinagar to make a representation on behalf of the farmers of his area about the loss they suffered due to heavy rains and subsequent floods.
Dervadia had lost the MLA election against Congress candidate Rutwik Makwana in the last state legislative assembly election.
