The reason for this was ‘Stonekiller’ aka Hitesh Dalpatram Ramawat who committed three brutal murders. At that time, Stonekiller, who was roaming openly, caused a stir in the public mind. So in a certain area, people started keeping vigil night after night. The gay-minded stonekiller also snubbed the Rajkot police, but was arrested on 2 July 2016 following an intensive police investigation. Today, the court has given its verdict, in which the court sentenced Stonekiller to life imprisonment and a fine of 1 lakh in a murder case.
