Jha might have arrived by train: Cops
Dhaba owner Bhanwar Lal said Mahesh, a local resident, was a regular visitor there and that he knew him by name. He said there were two other people with Mahesh. Given the dhaba’s proximity to the railway station, police believe Jha might have arrived there by train. Mahesh, who was tasked with sheltering Lalit, had reportedly performed recce during the day, confident that there were no CCTV cameras at the dhaba and in its vicinities.
Mahesh, who completed his studies up to the 9th grade, lives in Kuchaman and installs lanterns at various sites for a living. His father is a daily-wage labourer, and his brother does electrical fitting work, said sources. Mahesh was accompanied by his cousin, Kailash Kumawat, at the dhaba, where the trio spent the night on cots, said sources.
