Ahmedabad: Two days after Bopal stockbroker's suicide, police apprehend two
Two days after a stockbroker was found dead with a gunshot wound and a suicide note in his pocket — but no weapon — the Ahmedabad Rural Police on Thursday said they have apprehended two men even as a search is on for the gun. The incident occurred on Tuesday night in the Bopal area of Ahmedabad. According to police, Kalpesh Tudiya's 14-year-old daughter heard a gunshot around 8:45 pm from inside their home. When she went upstairs to check, she found her father's body in the bedroom. She then video-called her mother and showed her the scene. The family rushed the victim to the hospital where he was declared dead, following which police were informed. Superintendent of Police, Ahmedabad Rural Police, Om Prakash Jat said, 'The accused, identified as Sahirkhan Nasibkhan Malek and Rashidkhan Mahmadkhan Malek have been apprehended and the gun with which the broker allegedly shot himself has been recovered.' Earlier, the police had said that the victim's daughter had told them that she had seen two unidentified men outside their home moments before the gunshot was heard. Jat said, 'These two men were the same who were standing outside the broker's house… they have confessed to having supplied the weapon to Tudiya, who had sought it from them. However, when they heard the gunshot, they picked up the weapon and fled from the spot. We are yet to find the weapon, said to be a country-made pistol. A search is on to find it.' The police said they are 'almost certain that this was a suicide'. Regarding the person named in the victim's suicide note, SP Jat said, 'We have found the person who was named in the suicide note…Tudiya had borrowed money from the said person. He had a huge debt to pay.' Police are also trying to search for the unidentified accused from whom these two persons procured the illegal weapon. The SP said a separate FIR has been lodged against the two accused under the provisions of The Arms Act.

They had allegedly also helped others obtain fake arms licences and illegal weapons. PI K B Solanki investigated the matter and found many people had availed their services between 2019 and 2022. ATS officials said they had found and seized three revolvers and 187 rounds as well as 4 pistols with 98 rounds from the accused.

Neither had they given any interview before the District Magistrate for procuring the licences. None of them had also signed any gun house registries that could confirm the purchase of the weapons. All the seven were subsequently arrested. Two more persons have been detained as suspects and their interrogation is under way.
