Hindu activist fighting for strict implementation of Disturbed Area Act attacked in Surat

Surat: The police nabbed Saiyad Hussain for publicly attacking Bipesh Shah with a knife. Bipesh runs a movement for strict implementation of the disturbed areas act in Kot area of the city.

Bipesh Shah (age 55) runs a grocery shop in a rented place near Intwala Masjid at Indarpura- Badri road and lives in a Chandanbag apartment near Hindu Milan Mandir in Gopipura. He is the chairman of Gopipura Kshetra Samvardhak Samiti and runs a movement for the implementation of the disturbed area act in the Kot area. He reached his shop at 10 am on Saturday. The accused Hussain rushed to Bipesh when the latter was parking his bike. Hussain wounded Bipesh 5 times with a knife.

Hussain escaped from there after Bipeshbhai started shouting for help. The locals took Bipesh to the local hospital for treatment. He was then shifted to the new civil hospital and to Kiran Hospital later.

Mahidharpura police booked the accused for an attempt to murder and nabbed Saiayd Hussain Saiyad Hafiz (who lives at Badri Road, Indarpura). The accused lives on rent in the same building where Bipeshbhai runs his shop. The accused had spit tobacco near his shop a month ago, which caused a fight between both. A fight had again occurred between them last week. DeshGujarat
