A man and his purported accomplice have been arrested after he killed his brother-in-law by repeatedly stabbing him on the side of a busy street in Gujarat's Rajkot, according to the police. The main accused, identified as Kamlesh Dhandal, allegedly stabbed 27-year-old Vimal Vaniya 13 times in just 23 seconds before fleeing the scene on his motorcycle.The incident was captured on CCTV. The murder is said to have stemmed from a long-standing family dispute following Vimal's love marriage to Sheetal, Kamlesh's sister, around seven years ago.The woman's family had opposed the marriage and severed ties with her. However, resentment purportedly resurfaced after the victim used his in-laws' address to register a vehicle he had purchased for his wife.On the day of the incident, Kamlesh allegedly called Vimal to a shop in the city on the pretext of handing over the RC book delivered at his home.The CCTV footage of the incident shows Kamlesh dragging Vimal out of the shop towards his motorcycle. He is then seen thrashing him, before pulling out what was supposedly a knife.Following repeated stabbings, Vimal collapsed on the ground with severe injuries. As people gathered at the scene, Kamlesh fled on his motorcycle, per the police. Meanwhile, his brother-in-law was rushed to a hospital, where doctors declared him dead.VICTIM'S WIFE DEMANDS DEATH PENALTY FOR BROTHERA case of murder was subsequently registered by the police.
