New Delhi, Jul 21: A disturbing video of a man being hacked to death with swords by a group of men in broad daylight went viral on Thursday.

A rival gang killed a gangster in full public view in Maharashtra and the whole incident was recorded on CCTV camera. The footage of the gore-filled incident has gone viral.

The unsettling footage was recorded by a camera installed in a neighboring building and the video was leaked on Wednesday evening.

It was soon taken into police custody. A separate probe has been launched to investigate as to how the video got leaked.

The brutality of it took place on Tuesday around 6.15 am. The 33-year-old gangster -- Rafiuddin Shaikh alias Guddya -- had gone for a morning stroll by the river bank.

"After the walk, he stopped by for a cup of tea at a popular stall when at least 10 members of a rival gang suddenly barged inside the shop and shot at him with a country-made revolver," said an official of Dhule Police Control, refusing to be identified.

The bullet form the revolver incapacitated Guddya and he fell down. The assailants pounced on him with swords, hockey sticks and curved swords. Then they began dragging him out of the tea shop.

The CCTV footage shows, while assailants dragged Guddya out, the members of the rival gang attacked him as his blood mixed with rainwater started flowing on the footpath and the road.

As Guddya lay there motionless, at least one man kept attacking him till he was pulled away by an associate. All of them fled before police reached the spot of violence.

The police have established the identities of seven of the 10 attackers. The seven identified are on the run and a manhunt has been launched, the officer said.

The attackers have been identified as Vilas Goyar, his sons Vicky Goyar, Shyam Goyar and Vijay Goyar, their associates Rajendra Devare, Bhima Devare, Dadu Devare.

The prime suspect, the Goyar family, is considered equally notorious in Dhule with its involvement in several crimes and an old rivalry with Guddya.

Guddya, who was out on bail, had more than 35 criminal cases registered in Shirdi, Ahmednagar, Kopargaon, Manmad, Dhule.

Several cases are pending against him of extortion, attempt to murder, rape and murder in several districts of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, the official said.

New Delhi, Jul 17: The first FIR against Volkswagen and Audi in India for installing cheat devices in their cars to misrepresent emissions has been filed in Noida.

The FIR was filed by Noida resident Aniljit Singh against the top officials of Volkswagen and Audi in India and their headquarters in Germany. These include Rahil Ansari, Brand Director, Audi India, Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head, Audi India, and Bram Schot, Chairman, Audi AG.

The FIR reviewed by media agency cites forgery, cheating and criminal conspiracy under various sections of the Indian Penal Code.

The complaint has cited the global emissions scandal where VW was found to be installing a cheat device in its cars, in the absence of which, the cars produced 10-40 times emissions beyond the permissible limits.

The complainant said that in 2018 he had purchased seven Audi cars worth crores of rupees. At the time of taking the delivery, the complainant said that he inquired if the cheat devices were installed in India and he was told by the company that they were not, as in India's emission norms were not as stringent and the country being a growing market for Audi, no such device was implanted.

The complaint said that the authorities in India observed that Audi cars' emissions for nitrogen oxide were 5-8 times the permissible limits and after the National Green Tribunal imposed a penalty of Rs 500 crore on VW, the complainant realised that he had been duped of his hard earned money.

He alleged that the accused persons had misrepresented the complainant by forging the documents and devices and caused wrongful gains to themselves and wrongful losses to the complainant. These officials had made wrong records to capture the market, with malafide intent and under a pre-planned conspiracy had induced and defrauded the complainant.

The accused persons are guilty of cheating the customers and have induced the complainant to part with hard earned money for sub-standard cars. The accused are also guilty of forging the documents on which they had sought various clearances.

The complainant has demanded that the allegations may be thoroughly investigated by a senior official.
