In a swift operation, Manoharpur police in Jaipur Rural have cracked a high profile land grabbing case within 24 hours, arresting two operatives linked to the notorious Bhai Raj gang. The suspects had allegedly fired gunshots and pelted stones to terrorize local cultivators over a property dispute. Police identified the arrested individuals as Lalit Kumar Verma alias Rana and Mahendra Kumar Yadav alias Kana, both residents of Chak Manoharpur. Officers also recovered an illegal pistol, live rounds, and the motorcycle used during the criminal operation.
Late Night Attack and Gunfire on Farmland
The violent incident occurred during the early hours of October 3. Abhishek Bohra, who manages cultivation and caretaker duties on the land situated in Nawalpura, lodged a formal police complaint regarding the armed intrusion. According to Bohra, three unidentified men arrived on a single motorcycle at around 1:45 AM. The assailants immediately initiated verbal abuse, hurled stones, and fired two live rounds into the air to create panic. Before speeding away from the scene, the armed men issued explicit death threats to anyone attempting to cultivate or protect the land.
Surveillance Data and Criminal Profiling Lead to Arrests
Given the gravity of the armed aggression, law enforcement authorities formed a dedicated investigation team to pursue the culprits. The squad analyzed electronic data and technical evidence around the scene of crime while cross referencing dossiers of habitual offenders previously chargesheeted for extortion, firing, and attempted murder in the region. The investigation pointed directly to the active involvement of the Bhai Raj gang. Acting on concrete intelligence, police tracked down and arrested Lalit Kumar Verma alias Rana and Mahendra Kumar Yadav alias Kana from Chak Manoharpur, recovering the firearm, live cartridges, and motorcycle used in the crime.
Contractual Threat Plot and Illegal Weapon Supply under Probe
Initial interrogation revealed that the conflict stemmed from an illicit encroachment on a room located on the contested parcel of land by Vikram Yogi. Investigators uncovered that the armed operatives were hired on a contract to threaten, intimidate, and evict the cultivators under threat of death. ASP Lakhan Singh stated that custodial interrogation of the arrested duo is underway to gather critical leads regarding the mastermind who financed the hit, other absconding accomplices, and the underground suppliers who provided the unlicensed weaponry.
