Brutal Vengeance: Sacked Employee Stabs His Boss, Father & Uncle To Death

Surat: In an act of brutal vengeance, two men stabbed to death an embroidery firm owner, his father and uncle on Sunday as one of the accused was angry with his former employer for sacking him recently, police said.

The scene of the triple murder was Vedant Texo, the victim’s company located in Anjani industrial area of Amroli in Surat.

Those killed have been identified as Kalpesh Dholakia (36), Dhanji Dholakiya (61) and Ghanshyam Rajodiya (48).

The accused duo has been detained and are being questioned.

Surat Police has formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the case, said a senior official.

“The accused and his associate walked into the company on Sunday morning and stabbed the owner of the unit, his father and uncle to death,” DCP (Zone 5) Harshad Mehta said.

“A rift between the owner of the embroidery firm and his employee led to the murder of three persons… The interrogation of the accused revealed that the factory owner had terminated the services of the man 10 days ago after he was found sleeping during the night shift. A heated argument had taken place between them at that time,” he said.

CCTV footage showed the two killers walking into the factory with sharp weapons and stabbing the victims multiple times, Mehta added.

“The entire incident is very serious and tragic. Different teams of the Surat Police were involved in nabbing the accused,” he said.

“Evidence is being collected with the help of the forensic team, and we aim to file a chargesheet within a week… Primary investigation has revealed that the accused purchased the knife online after a fight with the owner,” he added.
