In a major breakthrough, a chilling “torture house” allegedly run by gangster Chirag Goti and his associates has been exposed in Surat, triggering a sweeping police crackdown after disturbing videos went viral on social media.
The ‘Torture House’ Operation
Investigators revealed that the gang allegedly operated a dedicated location used to:

Victims were reportedly held captive, beaten, and threatened at gunpoint. The viral clips show gang members brandishing pistols, humiliating victims, and issuing open threats — visuals that sparked outrage across the city.
Viral Videos Spark Action
The turning point came when multiple video clips surfaced online. The footage allegedly captured gang members flaunting illegal weapons and terrorizing individuals inside the premises. The shocking visuals prompted previously silent victims to come forward with formal complaints, claiming they had been too afraid to approach police earlier.
Police Tighten the Noose
Following the viral evidence, Surat Police formed special teams and launched coordinated raids across suspected hideouts. Several suspects have been detained, and more arrests are expected as the investigation widens.
⚖️ Charges Filed
The accused are facing serious charges, including:
Attempted murder
Criminal intimidation
Kidnapping and wrongful confinement
Extortion
Violations under the Arms Act for illegal firearm possession
Authorities are also examining digital evidence, financial transactions, and links to other criminal activities to determine the full extent of the network.
Strong Message Against Gang Culture
Surat Police have issued a stern warning against rising “gang culture” in the city, assuring strict action against organized crime. Increased patrolling has been ordered in sensitive areas, and a broader “clean-up” operation is underway to dismantle similar criminal setups.
Officials have urged other victims to come forward, promising anonymity and protection.
The exposure of the alleged torture house marks a significant step in curbing organized crime in Surat — but investigators say the probe is far from over.
