A man was hacked to death by axe in an act of revenge stemming from a seven-year-old case in Jaipur, Rajasthan. The accused is the son of a man who was allegedly killed by the victim years ago. He carried out the attack to take revenge for his father’s death. The incident occurred in Jagdamba Nagar area over personal enmity between the two sides.
Police stated that Hanish and his associates followed Vijay in a ‘Camper’ van for four hours before attacking and killing the victim with an axe.
Police were already investigating these cases when on Wednesday, Hanish and Vijay had a confrontation. He was arrested and sent to jail in connection with that case. However, since his release, Kailash’s son, Hanish, allegedly attempted multiple attacks on Vijay. Following this, Hanish and his three accomplices, Yuvraj Chaudhary, Dinesh and Kamlesh, devised a plan to kill Vijay. As Vijay’s car stopped, he attempted to flee the scene. A local police team arrived at the scene and examined video footage captured by bystanders as well as CCTV recordings. Based on this evidence, they identified the registration number of the ‘Camper’ vehicle. During interrogation, they confessed that, seeing no other way out, they had decided to surrender and were heading toward the police station when they were caught and arrested.
Vijay Bajiya, who has a crimnal record, had allegedly murdered Kailash at a liquor shop in 2019, according to the police. Police stated that Hanish and his associates had been tailing Vijay in a ‘Camper’ van since around 3:00 pm. At approximately 7:15 pm, as Vijay was leaving for his home in Kalwar, the assailants rammed the van into his car. Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) (West) Prashant Kiran stated that the police were informed of the incident around 8:00 pm.
Police said that three of the four accused have no prior criminal records, suggesting that the motive was indeed a long-standing personal vendetta.
