Surat: In a swift operation, Surat Police have foiled an alleged murder plot in the Godadara area, where a youth was targeted over a dispute involving just ₹1,000.

According to police, the victim, identified as Sachin Chaudhary, had borrowed ₹1,000 from the main accused, Kanhaiya Vishwakarma. When the amount was not returned, Vishwakarma allegedly conspired with his associates to eliminate Chaudhary using sharp weapons.
