Two held for killing salesman in Jaipur rural

Jaipur: Two men were arrested by Jaipur rural police Thursday for allegedly opening fire at a local resident's house and fatally shooting a 25-year-old petrol pump salesman in Naraina near Dudu late Tuesday night. The accused, Gopal Jat (30) and Shaitan Dansaniya (27), both residents of Naraina, were detained after a joint police operation spanning multiple districts. According to DIG Anand Sharma, the accused, travelling in a black Thar without a number plate, first threatened Ramswaroop, a resident of Panwa Kalan village, by firing outside his home. Within minutes, they stopped at the Shakambhari Petrol Pump in Marwa and shot salesman Shaitan Gurjar, who later succumbed to injuries at CHC Naraina. "The accused have no previous criminal records anywhere, but they procured an illegal weapon through some network. They began roaming around the town with the weapon and brandishing it. They also fired in the air," Sharma said. He added the accused then went to the petrol pump and asked the salesman to fill their tank for free. "The salesman refused to be intimidated and asked them to leave. The accused then opened fire, and the shot hit the victim in the head, who died later," Sharma said. He said the gravity of the twin shootings prompted the formation of a special police team under ASP (HQ) Rajneesh Poonia, ASP Dudu Shivalal Bairwa, and circle officer Sambhar Lake Anupam Mishra. "The police teams were put on alert across the district, which chased their vehicle and arrested them," said the official. A regional alert was issued across Jaipur Rural, Ajmer, and Nagaur, with blockades set up. Acting swiftly on leads, police, with assistance from sub-inspector Satyawan Meena of Rupangarh (Ajmer), tracked and arrested the two accused. The black Thar vehicle used in the crime was seized along with an illegal pistol. Two separate FIRs have been lodged in connection with the firing incidents. Police said further investigation is underway to determine the motive and trace the firearm's origin. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
