Jamnagar: A double-murder of a young man and his mother-in-law on Saturday has stirred the city. The matter pertains to a year-old inter-caste marriage, wherein the deceased man, identified as Soma Bhai Gadhvi, had married a woman against his family's will.
Digging out the grudges of the marriage, the family of Gadhvi's wife on Saturday reached his showroom in Jamnagar and killed him during a violent confrontation. One of the family members of his wife reportedly used a knife to brutally injure the man, after which he succumbed to his injuries.
Escalating the matter further, the family of the deceased attacked Gadhvi's mother-in-law -- Ashaba Satubha Jala -- and stabbed her to death to avenge Soma's death. The confrontation thus ended in the loss of two lives - the man and his mother-in-law.
SP Premsukh Delu reached the spot as soon as the incident came to light. A case has been registered in the matter while the police have also listed down a few suspects based on the preliminary investigation.
