JAIPUR: While solving cases of loot and dacoity, the Alwar police on Wednesday managed to solve the murder mystery of former Nagar Palika chairman of Gangapur city. Police have established that it was a contract killing which was planned by a person of Sawai Madhopur having a land dispute with the deceased over 4 bigha of Land.
Though the murder case was under the jurisdiction of the Sawai Madhopur police the Alwar police got the major breakthrough by arresting four people involved in the murder case.
After the arrest the Alwar police shared some developments of the case to Sawai Madhopur police who too managed to arrest two more persons.
DC Jain, Inspector general of police, Jaipur range under whose jurisdiction Alwar comes, talking to TOI on Wednesday, said, "We were actually investigating a loot and dacoity case of Alwar in which we had arrested some persons. While we interrogated them it was found that they were involved in the murder case of Prakash Agarwal former Nagar Palika Chairman of Gangapur city. The interrogation helped us to know each and every aspect of the murder case and finally we could arrest four persons in this connection."
Elaborating further, Jain, said, "Actually prior to the murder of Agarwal he had purchased a 4 beegha land for a farm house from one Shivcharan Meena. Shivkishan was not happy with the deal and both the parties were even fighting a case in the court. Later Monu Meena the son of Shivcharan got in touch with one Shivkishan alais Shaukeen Meena and urged him to kill Agarwal and promised him to pay Rs 10 lakh."
"While Shaukeen was on his way to kill Agarwal he was stuck in a police patrolling and was arrested for breaking the security cordon and possessing illegal weapon. While he was in Jail in Alwar he met the kingpin Yogesh and requested if he can execute the murder. Finally, Yogesh hired contract killers and the victim Agarwal was killed," Jain added.
Agarwal was shot dead by two bike-borne shooters when he was parking his car at his house in Gangapur on June 9 over property dispute. The arrested accused were identified as Yogesh Yogi, Shaukin alias Shivkishan, Chintu Chinmay, Shivcharan Meena, Monu Aga, Rajendra alias Chirda.
