Alright, Surat. What in the actual hell is going on there? It's like the universe decided to play SimCity, but only with the "natural disaster" and "crime spree" expansion packs.
A Forest Officer, a Gunshot, and a Missing Husband
So, we've got a forest officer, Sonal Arvindbhai Solanki, found in her car with a gunshot wound. Critical condition. Her four-year-old kid was in the car too, heard a "loud sound." Jesus. Surat forest officer found with gunshot injury in car; family accuses husband
The husband, Nikunj Krantigiri Goswami (try saying that three times fast), is an inspector at the regional transport office and conveniently missing. And get this – the brothers are already pointing fingers at him. Apparently, they were living separately, and she'd filed a complaint about him tracking her vehicle and fearing for her and her son's safety.
Let's be real: Doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to connect those dots, does it? What kind of RTO inspector pulls this kind of crap? Are we sure he's not moonlighting as a Bond villain?
And the cops are "searching" for him? Give me a break. If he's an RTO inspector, he knows every back road and hidden highway in the state. He's probably sipping chai in Rajasthan right now, laughing his ass off.
But wait, there's more!
Prop Trading Gone Wild: 150 Crore Down the Drain?
A prop trading scam that started in Surat is now nationwide. Green Wall Enterprises, iTrade Associates, Darshan Joshi… the names just keep coming. It's like a goddamn hydra of financial malfeasance. Surat prop trading scam spreads nationwide, losses may top Rs 150 crore
Originally, they thought it was a 5 crore scam. Now? Industry insiders are whispering about 150 crore. 150 CRORE! That's real money, people. Money that real people lost. Like Krishan Yadav, a former merchant navy captain who "invested all my life savings there." Gone. Just like that.
And Jainam Stock Broking is all like, "Nothing to see here! We have no connection to Green Wall!" Yeah, okay. Sure.
It's always the same story, isn't it? Some shady company promises the moon, people get greedy, and then BAM! The whole thing collapses, leaving a trail of tears and empty bank accounts.
The questions that arise are are if such business models are being run because of any grey area in regulations or is it complete ignorance and disrespect for securities market laws?
You know what? I'm starting to think that maybe, just maybe, the entire financial system is one giant Ponzi scheme. At least my cat only steals my socks, not my life savings.
Beaten, Humiliated, and Forced to Lick Feet
Oh, and just for good measure, let's throw in a migrant worker being beaten, humiliated, and forced to lick someone's feet at knifepoint. Because why not?
The victim, Sudhir Kumar Pandey, was working at a restaurant when some charming individual calling himself "Bhola Bhai" decided to make him the star of his own personal snuff film. Bhola Bhai even posted the video online! Real classy.
"Bhola Bhai, I will never return to Surat," the victim says in the video. No kidding. I wouldn't return to Surat either if I had any other options.
The police have registered a case and are "investigating." I hope they catch these guys, but honestly, it feels like trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon.
It's just… it's too much. It's like Surat is determined to become the poster child for everything that's wrong with the world.
So, What's the Real Story?
I'm not saying Surat is literally hell on Earth, but… well, actually, that's exactly what I'm saying. It's a goddamn dumpster fire of crime, corruption, and human misery. And honestly, I'm not sure if it can be saved. Maybe it's time to just write it off and move on. Or maybe, I'm just being cynical. I do get that way sometimes.
