Police hunt for youth who attacked couple with chisel | Ahmedabad News

Police said the neighbours took the couple to a nearby private hospital. Later, Vijay, who works as a dyeing master at a mill in Kadodara village in Surat district, filed a complaint with the Dindoli police.

Dindoli police Inspector HJ Solanki said: “The condition of the couple is stable. “We suspect the accused entered the house from the terrace… We are surprised that no theft was committed… Our teams are looking for the accused.”

A youth allegedly attacked a couple with a chisel while they were sleeping at their house in Surat’s Dindoli before fleeing early Wednesday. The incident took place around 4.20 am when Vijay Modi (44) and his wife Guddi (43) were sleeping at Dream Villa society, said police.

“The youth, allegedly around 18 years of age, managed to enter the couple’s bedroom and attacked Guddi, injuring her throat and right hand with a chisel. As Vijay woke up, he tried to overpower the youth. The accused then attacked Vijay… he suffered five injuries, including in the head and face,” said an officer. “As their daughters, 14 and 17 years old, who were sleeping in another room, heard the couple screaming, they raised an alarm. The youth then fled.”
