Junagadh ex-mayor’s son killed

Rajkot: Son of a former mayor of Junagadh was killed by four to five unidentified people on Bilkha Road in the city on Wednesday.
The victim Dharmesh Parmar, 47, a civil contractor was going on his scooter on Bilkha Road where the assialants on bike and a rickshaw waylaid him. They stabbed Parmar with knives and other sharp weapons and fled from thespot.
Parmar was rushed to a hospital but was declared before admission.
At the hospital, his family members created a ruckus over registering complaint against several people. “They are accusing people who we suspect were not even involved, so we are yet to lodge an FIR,” said deputy superintendent of police P G Jadeja. He added that one of the accused is the husband of a sitting councillor. TNN
