Bhavnagar: 52-year-old man hacked to death by relatives
Written by news2in

RAJKOT: A 52-year-old man was hacked to death in Rampara (Goriya) village in Ghogha taluka of Bhavnagar district on Wednesday afternoon by his close relatives over an old animosity.
The victim was identified as Laxman Jambucha.
Victim’s daughter Maya Gohel (24), a resident of Morchand village, lodged a complaint of murder against Teja Jambucha, his wife Ratan and their three sons — Ashwin, Tulsi and Jeram.
The incident occurred when Laxman and Maya went to their farm in Rampara village.
After coming to know about Laxman’s visit, the accused reached the farm and assaulted him before escaping from the spot.
Laxman, who was seriously injured, was taken to hospital in Ghogha where he succumbed to the injuries.
“Teja is cousin of Laxman and they had a common well in their farm.
In December 2019, Teja’s grandsons died after accidentally falling into this well.
Since then, Teja’s family suspected that Laxman’s wife was responsible for the deaths and their relationships deteriorated,” a police official informed.
“Both families had been at loggerhead since then and Laxman even moved to nearby Malnka village with his family.
On Wednesday, when Teja’s family came to know that Laxman was visiting his farm, they attacked him and murdered him,” he added.
