In this article we have investigated the Thomas-Fermi model for the electron gas in Rindler space. We have found that if the uniform acceleration is along +x-direction, then there is y-z-symmetry in space. For the sake of mathematical simplicity, we have assumed two dimensional spatial structure (x-y) in Rindler space. It has been observed that in two dimensional spatial coordinates the electrons are distributed discontinuously but in a periodic manner in a number of rectangular strips like

We call the later type domain as the normal zone. We have also given physical interpretation for such exotic type electron distribution in Rindler space.
