JAIPUR: Intense surveillance and working in tandem with Karauli police paid off for Bharatpur police when they arrested one of the main accused in the murder case of Bharatpur’s doctor couple on Tuesday. The accused was hiding in the ravines near Suorth village of Karauli since past few days.
The accused, identified as Mahesh Gujjar (23), was riding the bike which intercepted the doctor couple’s car on May 28. “Gujjar was taken to Bharatpur amid tight security. We have concrete clues about the other accused, Anuj Gujjar, who shot the couple,” said Bharatpur SP Devendra Bishnoi.
Senior police officers said the arrest was a result of teamwork as Bharatpur Range IG Prashan Kumar Khamesra had specifically asked SPs of Bharatpur, Karauli and Sawai Madhopur to facilitate each other. “A specific input on his presence in Karauli was shared with police. Thereafter, a team comprising almost 300 policemen began search operations in which the accused was found, taken into custody and later arrested,” said a senior officer.
Anuj and Mahesh Gujjar came on a bike and intercepted Dr Sandeep Gupta’s who was driving a car on May 28. Anuj, who had covered his face with a towel, opened fire and killed Dr Sandeep and his wife Seema Gupta. It was termed as revenge killing by the Bharatpur police as the doctor couple had allegedly killed Anuj’s sister and her six-year-old son in 2019.
