Criminal Offenses Unfold in Morbi as Mar Mari Caste Youth Face Assault, Atrocity, and Robbery Instead of Payment
In Rawapar Chowk of Morbi, a disturbing incident transpired wherein individuals belonging to the Mar Mari caste were subjected to assault, atrocity, and robbery instead of receiving their rightful payments.

This judicial action underscores the gravity of the charges and the legal consequences faced by those implicated in the Morbi assault and robbery case.
The incident in question transpired last month when the complainant was employed in the Export Department of Raniba Industries, situated on the fourth floor of Capital Market near Rawapar Chowkdi. Approximately two weeks into his employment, the complainant chose to discontinue his work, leading to his departure from the workplace. Despite the routine salary disbursement occurring on the fifth day of the month at the office, the young man’s salary remained unpaid.
In an effort to address this issue, the young man, accompanied by friends, visited the office of the complainant, Raniba. However, instead of facilitating a resolution, Raniba, along with all the accused, resorted to physical violence against the young man, his brother, and his friend. Vibhuti Patel, one of the accused, extended an apology to the young man and urged him to prostrate himself. Subsequently, Raj Patel subjected the young man to caste-based insults, leading to a separate location where Raniba recorded a video further demeaning the individual by placing a shoe in his mouth. The entire episode revolves around the non-payment of salary, escalating into physical assault, verbal abuse, and a degrading act captured on video.
