AHMEDABAD: The wife of the owner of a SG Road hospital on Wednesday filed a complaint with Sola police against a moneylender who allegedly barged into her house and threatened to kill her entire family.
Aruna Jani, 54, a resident of Divine Bungalows on Science City Road, said in her FIR that her husband, Sureshkumar Jani, had taken Rs 80 lakh from a moneylender, Bharat Desai. The loan was taken at 5% monthly interest about one-and-a-half-years ago. Due to the lockdown, Jani could not pay interest for four months. According to the FIR, Jani is the owner of Global Multi-specialty Hospital on SG Road.
Aruna Jani stated in her FIR that Desai had barged into her house on Wednesday afternoon when she was alone at home. Her husband was in Navrangpura; her son Dhruv, 34, lives with his wife and child at Sundarvan Epitome in Satellite. Desai asked for Jani. When she told Desai that Jani was not at home, Desai left in a huff. At around 8.30pm on the same day, Desai again stormed into her house and straightaway came into the kitchen where she was working. Desai began abusing her family members.
Desai yelled, demanding to know why Jani and Dhruv did not respond to his phone calls. Desai alleged that Jani was hiding in the house. Desai then locked the house and began threatening to kill the entire Jani family. When Desai moved out of the kitchen, Aruna Jani locked the door from inside and called the police control room. After a while, a team of Sola police reached her home and registered a complaint. Inspector J P Jadeja of Sola police said that Desai was caught and booked under the charges of criminal trespass and intimidation. The provisions of the Gujarat Money-Lenders Act were also invoked.
