On 22nd December, Jaipur Police arrested seven individuals, including Mujammil, Imran, Farman and others, for their involvement in a series of vandalism and arson incidents in the Hasanpura area. The first incident took place in September this year, where the miscreants damaged around 15-20 vehicles, including bikes, scooters, auto-rickshaws, and cars. Additionally, they set a Baleno car on fire. According to media reports, the arrested suspects are accused of conspiring to disrupt communal harmony in the region and escalate gang rivalries. During the arrest, the police recovered rods, pipes, and vehicles used in the crime.
Background of the case
The incident took place on the night of 27th September in the Hasanpura area of Jaipur. A group of individuals was seen on CCTV footage armed with iron rods, sticks, and pipes. They vandalised parked vehicles in several areas, including Mehron Ka Mohalla, Dhobiyon Ka Chowk, and Rajiv Nagar in the Hasanpura region. Around 15-20 vehicles were severely damaged. They also stole documents and cash from two vehicles and set a car on fire, which was completely destroyed.
The attacks began outside the house of Mohammad Sharif in Hasanpura. During the investigation, the police found that the vandalism was part of a chain of violent incidents involving inter-gang rivalries. Earlier, on 27th September, Mujammil allegedly set a car on fire that belonged to rival gang member Wasim Ahmed. That incident took place in Vyas Colony of the Shastri Nagar area. The incident led to further violence, and on 29th November, Mujammil’s brother-in-law Akram, who is also a history-sheeter, carried out a firing incident outside another history-sheeter Rahul Nanda’s residence in Sindhi Colony. His associates, Kuldeep Gehlot and Honey Tiger, were involved in that incident.
Who have been arrested
Seven suspects have been arrested by the police, including Mujammil Mirza, Rahul Nanda, Mohammad Imran, Mohammad Aflab alias Bunty, Farman, Shoaib, and Abdul Waheed alias Ballu. All the criminals live in different areas of Jaipur.
Police action and parade of suspects in public
To send a strong message, the arrested suspects were paraded through the Hasanpura area in their undergarments. This public action was aimed at demonstrating that the police are committed to curbing criminal activities and maintaining communal harmony in the region.
