The Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) on Saturday demolished the illegally built homes of the offenders in the Garibnagar area of the city. These individuals had been arrested for brandishing swords in the Rakhiyal and Bapunagar areas two days ago.
The accused, identified as Fazal, Altaf, Mehfooz and Sameer, were arrested and publicly paraded while the police carried out a reconstruction of the crime scene on Friday.
In the Garibnagar area, the illegally constructed houses of accused Fazal and Altaf were demolished by the AMC’s North Zone Estate Department team.
Prakash Gurjar, Chairman of the Legal Committee and the corporator of the Bapunagar ward, wrote to the Commissioner demanding that the unlawful constructions built by the accused on municipal corporation land be demolished. This action came after his appeal.
The AMC had earlier issued notices concerning these illegal constructions, but the demolition took place under police supervision.
An AMC bulldozer, accompanied by 50 workers, tore down the encroachments made by the accused, who had shattered the police vehicle’s glass and threatened officers at Garib Nagar Chowk. CCTV cameras, coolers and air conditioners were discovered outside the properties.
