Law enforcement authorities in Jaipur have cracked the murder case of history-sheeter Vijay Choudhary, also known as Vijay Bajia, in the Kardhani neighbourhood. All four suspects involved in the crime have been taken into custody. Police also recovered the Camper vehicle used during the execution of the crime. Rather than fleeing the city, the perpetrators chose to hide within the Kardhani area, where police surrounded and captured them.
Seven-Year Feud and Revenge Plot
The motive behind this murder traces back to a rivalry spanning seven years. According to police officials, prime suspect Anish Golya, alias Jaggu, targeted Vijay to avenge his father's murder. Anish holds a B.Tech degree from a private college in Jaipur and previously worked at a corporate firm, having left his job about five months prior to the incident. The other arrested individuals include Kamlesh Golya, Yuvraj Choudhary, and Dinesh Choudhary. All four suspects are residents of the Jobner area.
Car Collision and Axe Assault
On Wednesday night, Vijay Bajia was driving his Fortuner through Jagdamba Nagar in Kardhani when the suspects rammed their Camper vehicle directly into his car. The collision disabled the Fortuner, forcing Vijay to flee on foot in an attempt to save his life. The attackers chased him down, striking him with wooden sticks and an axe, resulting in his death. Investigations revealed that the suspects purchased the axe on the very day of the attack. An argument had reportedly taken place between Vijay and Anish on the day of the incident, leading to the final decision to target him.
Temple Visit Rumours and Arrest
Following the attack, the four suspects remained hidden in the Kardhani locality. Around 4 am on Thursday, police received actionable intelligence regarding their whereabouts, tracked their location, and apprehended them. Discussions arose suggesting that the suspects visited a temple and bowed before deities after the crime, before allegedly reaching out near a police station. However, law enforcement officials have not officially confirmed the temple visit or any voluntary surrender near the station.
Rooftop Video Recording Appreciated
A local resident recorded the entire sequence of events from a rooftop. DCP West Prashant Kiran praised the individual who captured the footage. The official noted that this resident not only documented the crime on video but also made efforts to intervene and protect Vijay, despite having no prior acquaintance with the suspects.
Sarpanch Electoral Aspirations
Before his death, Vijay Bajia was preparing to contest the upcoming election for Sarpanch from the Khejradawas Gram Panchayat. He had even put up posters across his village and surrounding areas for this campaign. However, due to his criminal background and pending cases, local villagers opposed his candidacy. The fatal attack has cut short his political ambitions.
