Fact Patel and his father Pragyesh Patel, who crushed nine people in the accident on the city’s ISKCON bridge, were presented in the Ahmedabad district court on Friday. The court asked the accused whether there is any problem or not? The public prosecutor sought five days’ remand and said the accused was not cooperating with the police. The public prosecutor also argued that sufficient time was not given for the investigation. The people present in the accident vehicle should also be investigated. It is also necessary to check the mobile phone of this accused. It should also be investigated from which restaurants the accused had come late at night.
Public prosecutor argued in the court
On the other hand, the public prosecutor argued against the counsel for the accused that why the owner of the car gave the car to the accused is a question. The GPS location does not reveal who was sitting inside the car, but it is necessary to ask where the accused had gone. The father of the accused threatened to kill the people present at the spot. The defense’s argument is baseless.
Arguments of the counsel for the accused
Nisar Vaidya, counsel for accused Fact Patel, said the 19-year-old boy was thrashed by the mob on the spot. The parents of the accused had gone to the spot after receiving the call. The police did not set up diversion or barricades. The accused was thrashed by the people and no offense was registered against him. Their constitutional rights should not be canceled in case of an accident. There was no video against his father but he was accused. The accused and his father did not run away. The parents took the child to the hospital and did not hide it. The police reconstructed the incident with the accused and his father. To please the people, father and son were made to do sit-ups there. The police have no such power.
There was heavy police deployment in the court premises
Heavy police deployment was made before the fact and his father were produced in the court. 3 PIs and other policemen with body worn cameras and batons were deployed in the court premises. Accused Fact Patel was produced in the Ahmedabad district court by making a police corridor. The police had also been alerted due to the gathering of people around the court premises. The police also took statements of his friends who were with him.
