Ahmedabad: A dispute over a Rs 50,000 loan escalated into an attempted murder case, with Madhavpura police registering a complaint after a man was stabbed. The incident stemmed from the borrower’s failure to repay the debt.
In a complaint filed on Saturday, a 34-year-old man stated that he had borrowed Rs 50,000 in cash from a local moneylender residing in Dudeshwar. He had initially agreed to repay the loan in instalments. However, with the moneylender’s son’s wedding approaching, the lender demanded the full amount.
On Friday night, the complainant was at home when his brother-in-law, who lives near Prem Darwaza, arrived and inquired if he had borrowed money from anyone.
“I confirmed that I had borrowed Rs 50,000 from the moneylender. My brother-in-law then informed me that two men were outside, discussing me,” the complainant stated. “We went outside to investigate and encountered the moneylender’s son and his uncle. Upon seeing us, the uncle began using abusive language.”
The situation quickly turned violent. “When we objected to the uncle’s language, he attacked my brother-in-law with a sharp weapon, stabbing him,” the complainant recounted. As bystanders began to gather, the two assailants fled the scene. The injured brother-in-law was immediately taken to the hospital, where he is currently receiving treatment.
