Unverified audio of politician roping in black-magic practitioner to kill rival politicians go viral

Ahmedabad: An unverified audio clip has gone viral today on social media platforms, in which a Congress councilor of Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) is asking a black-magic practitioner lady to “finish off” two Congress leaders, Shehzad Khan Pathan (Congress Councillor and leader of opposition in AMC) and Shailesh Parmar (MLA of Danilimda area).

In this audio clip, a woman on one end identifies herself as Jamnaben Vegda, (a councilor of Congress party in AMC). On the other end of phone call is a black-magic practitioner lady Hamida Khatri. Vegda asks Khatri to see the photographs she has sent. Vegda assists Khatri to identify the persons in the photograph, Shehzad Pathan and Shailesh Parmar, and further tells Khatri to “finish off” both of them.

Vegda however has categorically rejected the audio clip and said she doesn’t believe in black magic and she would take legal step against one who used her name in audio clip.

In the unverified audio tape a woman identifying self as Vegad tells Khatri that she had to sit on the chair in which, Shehzad Khan Pathan is sitting now. Vegda further tells Khatri that Pathan gave money and got her name cancelled for the position (of the leader of opposition in AMC.)

Shehzad Khan Pathan meanwhile said this is a dirty politics and not acceptable. He said he would speak to party high command as this is a negative politics. He said it’s very wrong to take help of black-magic to element someone.

It’s worth noting that 14 out of total 24 Congress councilor were against the appointment of Shehzad Khan Pathan as leader of opposition in AMC. Ten of them had also offered their resignations and met the State party president against any move of appointing Shehzad Khan as leader of opposition. However the party went ahead with its decision to appoint Pathan as leader of opposition and eventually Pathan took over this post recently.

It can’t be ascertain whether the audio clip is real or fake and whether Jamna Vegda actually roped in a black-magic practitioner to finish off rival Congress leaders. The local news media has prominently covered this story this evening.

Congress party was unable to take decision on the leader of opposition candidate in AMC for about a year due to groupism and infighting. DeshGujarat
