The victim's younger sister, Asha Makwana (44), filed an FIR at Pal police station against the eleven accused persons for kidnapping, assault and criminal intimidation.
Makwana said her elder sister, Sumita, lives with her two sons and daughter. Sumita's son, Aniket (23), married Naina Od in court on June 1, 2024. After staying at their own houses for a few months, the two eloped and began living together.
They presented themselves at Rander police station on May 28, declaring that they were married and would live together. After that, Naina began staying at Aniket's house.
On June 10, Sumita's son Vansh called Makwana saying his mother had been kidnapped in a car from near Care and Cure Hospital on Gaurav Path.
Another relative, who lives in Ambikanagar Society, called to say that Sumita was being assaulted by members of Naina's family.
Makwana rushed to the spot with some relatives and found the accused assaulting Sumita. They included Naina's relatives Rajesh, Jagdish, Dipak, Jatin, Nikhil, Sahil, Shubham, Urmila, Usha, Rekha and Vasanti. Makwana said Jatin and Nikhil were hitting Sumita with sticks while Rajesh was using a plastic pipe.
She added that the women were hitting Sumita in her private parts. Vasanti was screaming that Sumita would be burned with kerosene.
After Makwana called 181 and 108, paramedics arrived and took an unconscious Sumita to hospital.
Pal police inspector K L Gaadhe told TOI: "We have arrested the seven men; they are between 18 and 48 years old. We have booked them for kidnapping, criminal intimidation and other offences under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Sections 140 (4), 189 (2), 190, 351 (3) and 54 and Section 135 of the Gujarat Police Act.

Firing on Independence Day: Delhi cop's son shot four times, suspects on the run
A firing incident in the early hours of Independence Day left a 27-year-old man injured and triggered a search for the suspects. Police said the incident took place in the Naveen Shahdara area of Northeast Delhi. The victim, Akhil Panwar, is the son of a police officer currently posted in Delhi's Northeast district, police sources said. Panwar is also a habitual offender in the Shahdara area, sources added. Police said the shooting occurred around 1.07 am near the police residential quarters in Shahdara following a verbal altercation with two men. Akhil sustained four bullet injuries but is reported to be out of danger after emergency treatment. According to police, a PCR call was received at 1.43 am from one Ridham Surma, who reported that two brothers called Akhil to Tikona Park in Naveen Shahdara, and then opened fire at him. Ridham rushed the injured man to Max Hospital for treatment. The accused are currently absconding despite an active search, said police. Initial inquiries suggest the confrontation stemmed from abusive language Akhil allegedly used against the brothers, which escalated into the shooting. Police have registered a case under Section 109(1) (attempt to murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) along with Sections 25 and 27 of the Arms Act. Multiple police teams are working to locate and arrest the accused, and nearby CCTV footage is being scanned for clues, said police. A senior officer confirmed that Akhil, who is on the list of habitual offenders of Shahdara police station, is now stable and undergoing treatment. 'The suspects will be caught soon. Legal proceedings are underway,' the officer said.
