The Ahmedabad Crime Branch recently closed a cold case involving a triple murder that occurred in 2022. The investigation into the death of Shantaben Gambhirbhai Vasava, who was killed in the Kosamba area of Surat district, had remained unresolved for over a year.

The case took a turn when a man named Madhavdas Bhaktiram Sadhu approached law enforcement with information regarding the incident. According to police reports, Sadhu’s attempt to provide a tip was intended to frame others for the crime. However, the investigation into his claims revealed inconsistencies that ultimately led detectives to the actual perpetrators and the full scope of the triple murder.

While the specific identities of the other victims and the motive behind the original murders were not fully detailed in the initial reports, the Crime Branch confirmed that the attempt to manipulate the investigation served as the catalyst for the final breakthrough. The authorities are now processing the evidence gathered during this secondary investigation to ensure the suspects are held accountable for the original 2022 killings. The case highlights the complexities of cold case investigations where secondary actors may inadvertently provide the evidence needed to secure a conviction.
