Minor detained for Gondal youth’s murder, 3 on the run

Rajkot: A minor boy was detained in connection with a murder case of 21-year-old youth in Gondal town of Rajkot district on April 25. However, the police have declared three other accused to be absconding.
According to Gondal police, body of Ajaysinh Jadeja, a resident of Sainik Society in Gondal town, was found tied to a stone and dumped in a well on the outskirts of Gondal town of Rajkot district on April 28. Deceased had gone missing on April 25 from his home.
Ajaysinh’s sister Hina Jadeja had lodged a complaint with Gondal police and named Sachin Dhaduk as one of the suspects. Based on the complaint, police launched a probe and questioned one of Dhaduk’s close aides.
“While probing this case, we got a lead that five youths were arrested for pelting stones on a public transport bus in January this year. The accused suspected that Ajaysinh had given cops a tip off about their involvement in the incident which led to their arrest and so, decided to avenge it. We called a minor boy for questioning and he spilled the beans and confessed of killing Jadeja. Three other accused — Sachin Dhaduk, Vivek Barad and Jayveersinh Jadeja — are on the run,” police said.
“On April 25, Sachin came to Ajaysinh's house and asked him out. Ajaysinh, who went out with Sachin, however, failed to return home for several days. Later, his family lodged a missing complaint with police. Ajaysinh was stabbed to death the same evening of April 25 and his body was disposed off by the accused,” police said.
