‘Love never dies, it stays even when people get separated’. This statement was enacted in Gujarat’s Vadali.
Jeetubhai Heerabhai Vanjara, 32 years old, received a parcel delivered in an autorickshaw that contained a device like a tape recorder. Upon plugging it in, the device exploded killing Jeetubhai on the spot and his daughter Bhumika on the way to the hospital. His other two daughters, aged 9 and 10, were also injured, one being on ventilator support.
It was sent by Jayantibhai Balusingh Vanjara, 31, who disapproved of his former girlfriend’s marriage to Jeetubhai. He got the materials from Rajasthan and used gelatin sticks and a detonator.
People have done many crazy things for love or what they think it to be. But this one crossed the line where love stops being cute and turns into something sinister. Jayantibhai’s efforts to carry out his cruel plan prove how obsessed he must have been to do such a thing after such a long time since his ex’s marriage.
Police had clarified that Jeetubhai’s wife was out of the house when the parcel was delivered and the explosion took place. With the help of CCTV footage, police caught the auto driver and later on the accused, Jayantibhai.
