Amreli, November 13: In a shocking incident, a woman’s five brothers allegedly hacked her husband, Dinesh Solanki, to death while he was attempting to reconcile with her family in Amreli district, Gujarat. The 60-year-old victim was attacked at his niece’s house in Arjansukh village, where he had gone to discuss resolving a month-long marital dispute. During the assault, Solanki’s legs were severed with an axe, and he later succumbed to his injuries at Rajkot Civil Hospital. The brutal attack was captured in the FIR filed by his niece, prompting police to launch a manhunt for the suspects.

According to a Times of India report, Solanki had been living separately for a month after a disagreement with his wife, Ratan, and had three sons. On Tuesday evening, he visited his niece Manisha’s house in Vadiya taluka to try and reconcile with her family. Two brothers-in-law, Kanji and Haku Savaliya, initially arrived to mediate the discussion around 6:30 PM, but tensions escalated when Manisha’s husband stepped out to buy refreshments. What began as a mediation turned violent in a matter of minutes. Gujarat Shocker: In-Laws Force Woman To Wear Nightgown Every Day, Frustrated Daughter In-Law Files Complaint.

The report further details that Haku allegedly called Nanu, Bagha, Jadav, and three unidentified men during the argument. Bagha reportedly struck Solanki on the head with a metal pipe, while Jadav and the others held him down and hacked off his legs with an axe. Manisha, who witnessed the horrifying act, screamed for help but was forcibly pushed out of the house. The assailants then fled the scene in a waiting vehicle, leaving Solanki gravely injured. Surat Shocker: 14-Year-Old Boy Rapes, Impregnates 16-Year-Old Sister in Gujarat; Case Registered Under POCSO.
