Financial Dispute Leads to Police Summons in Surat

In a neighborhood near Nanpura in Surat, Pinkesh, also known as Pintu Rameshbhai Navsariwala, was subjected to a police raid. Pinkesh is a resident of Khanderao Puram Machhivad. His brother, Divyesh Navsariwala, is involved in sand trading business along with him. Pinkesh and Akshu, also known as Avi Patel, were engaged in financial transactions, leading to a rift between them for the past six months. Recently, they had another dispute over financial matters which escalated over a phone call during the late night hours. Consequently, both Pinkesh and Akshu were summoned to meet near Bhagwan Mahavir Hospital, close to Athwa Gate, at twelve-thirty in the midnight to resolve the monetary issue.

Stabbing Incident Results in Fugitive Escaping

When Pinkesh Navsariwala arrived at the designated spot, Akshu arrived in a car with five other friends. A heated argument erupted between Pinkesh and Akshu over financial matters, escalating into a violent altercation. In the heat of the moment, Akshu and his companions brandished a knife, stabbing Pinkesh multiple times in his abdomen, chest, and other parts of his body, inflicting a total of five wounds. Subsequently, Akshu and his associates fled the scene, leaving Pinkesh injured and requiring immediate medical attention.
