Four men were arrested on Thursday for allegedly hacking a criminal to death here to avenge the murder of the ringleader’s father seven years ago, police said.
Kardhani police station SHO Sawai Singh said the four men were hiding in the Kardhani area after the crime.
Anish and Vijay argued on Wednesday, following which the former allegedly decided to eliminate him, according to police. On Wednesday night, the four accused allegedly chased Vijay’s Fortuner SUV in a camper vehicle and rammed it near Jagdamba Nagar in the Kardhani police station area. The collision damaged Vijay’s vehicle, forcing him to step out and run for safety.
Commissioner of Police (West) Prashant Kiran said Anish Golya alias Jaggu (21), the prime accused, had allegedly planned the murder of Vijay Chaudhary alias Vijay Bajiya (25) to avenge the killing of his father, Kailash Golya, in 2019.
Kiran said the accused had purchased an axe a day before the murder and planned the attack. Police said the assailants chased him and allegedly attacked him repeatedly with an axe, killing him on the spot. Kardhani police station SHO Sawai Singh said the four men were hiding in the Kardhani area after the crime.
