Man Hospitalized After Stabbing Attack in Vadodara's Nizampura Area
In a violent incident that has shocked the local community, a man was brutally assaulted and stabbed by three individuals near the State Transport (ST) Depot in Nizampura, Vadodara, during the early hours of Friday morning. The victim, identified as Dharmesh Patil, sustained serious injuries and was promptly rushed to a nearby hospital for emergency medical treatment.
Details of the Assault and Police Complaint
According to official reports from the Fatehgunj police station, where Patil later filed a formal complaint, the altercation stemmed from a longstanding personal dispute. Patil had visited the ST Depot with a friend simply to have tea, unaware that the three accused—Tanmay Jadav, Chirag Solanki, and Viraj Parmar—were already present at the location.
The confrontation quickly escalated when the trio recognized Patil and began verbally abusing him, reigniting tensions from a fight that had occurred over a year ago. Witnesses described how the situation rapidly deteriorated into a physical assault, with the three men allegedly attacking Patil without provocation.

During the scuffle, Tanmay Jadav reportedly pulled out a sharp knife and stabbed Patil directly in the chest, causing severe wounds. Following the stabbing, all three assailants immediately fled the scene, leaving Patil bleeding and in critical condition.
Patil's friend, who was present throughout the ordeal, acted swiftly by transporting him to the nearest hospital, where he is currently receiving medical care. Police authorities have launched a thorough investigation into the incident and are actively searching for the accused individuals.
