We investigate the late time acceleration with a Chaplygin type of gas in spherically symmetric inhomogeneous model. At the early phase we get Einstien-de Sitter type of solution generalised to inhomogeneous spacetime. But at late stage of the evolution our solutions admit the accelerating nature of the universe. For a large scale factor our model behaves like a ΛCDM model. We calculate the deceleration parameter for this anisotropic model, which, unlike its homogeneous counterpart, shows that the flip is not synchronous occurring early at the outer shells. This is in line with other physical processes in any inhomogeneous models. Depending upon initial conditions our solution also gives bouncing universe. In the absence of inhomogeneity our solution reduces to wellknown solutions in homogeneous case. We have also calculated the effective deceleration parameter in terms of Hubble parameter. The whole situation is later discussed with the help of wellknown Raychaudhury equation and the results are compared with the previous case. This work is an extension of our recent communication where an attempt was made to see if the presence of extra dimensions and/or inhomogeneity can trigger an inflation in a matter dominated Lemaître Tolman Bondi model.
