Kankaria Lake Front Joy-ride accident case: Court rejects bail pleas of all the 6 accused

Ahmedabad: A local court here today rejected the bail plea of the six persons arrested in connection with the joy-ride accident in Kankaria Lake Front here on July 14 in which 2 people including a lady had died and over 20 injured.

The court accepted the argument of government counsel S Brahambhatt that the accused were operating the ride without being qualified for that and also that if they were granted bail they could tamper the evidences. One of the accused and so called engineer Yash Patel was not having any engineering degree.

Notably, Chirag Patel, Assistant Manager of Kankaria Lake Front had filed complaint in Maninagar police station against six persons in connection with the accident.

Police had nabbed Amusement park operator company Superstar Amusement’s managing director Ghanshyam Patel, his son and park operator Bhavesh Patel, manager Tushar Choksi, ride operators Yash alias Vikas Mahendra Patel and Kishan Mahanti and helper Satish Vaghela under sections 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) and 114 (abettor present when offence is committed) of the IPC.

Ghanshyam Patel is brother of former BJP municipal Councillor Mahendra Patel. Another accused Vikas Patel is Mahendra Patel’s son.
