A minor traffic incident near Ahmedabad spiralled into a fatal confrontation, leading to the death of 60-year-old Alpesh Mehta.

They allegedly used foul language, broke the driver's side window of Mehta's car, and proceeded to punch him repeatedly on his face, head, and chest. The victim suffered significant injuries, including bleeding from the mouth and nose.
An eyewitness, Janardan Patel, intervened and called the police. Both Mehta and the two accused were taken to the Sola police station.
