"The allegations against Ahmed Patel has been made by the Chief Minister of the state, which are very serious in nature. So we demand a

Patel has rubbished the charge.Rupani told reporters that Mohammed Qasim Stimberwala, caught by the Intelligence Bureau and security agencies, was working at a Bharuch
hospital where Patel had been a trustee and, though he resigned after the UPA lost power "still oversees the working of the hospital".
Stimberwala, one of the two alleged IS operatives arrested by the Gujarat ATS from Surat, had resigned recently as an echocardiogram
technician in the Sardar Patel Hospital and Heart Institute in Ankleshwar, which Patel had helped grow into a modern facility.
Patel was one of the trustees during the hospital's formative years as a modern hospital and the only one in the entire Bharuch district with
latest equipment and technology with facilities for heart surgery. He had resigned as a trustee in 2014, facilitating a new board of trustees to
take over.
The ATS, which picked up Stimberwala and Ubed Ahmed Mirza, claimed that the two were planning to attack a Jewish synagogue in Khadia
area of Ahmedabad and had even carried out reconnaissance of their target.
