Four Arrested in Jaipur for Murder of Notorious Criminal
Murder Case in Jaipur
Reports indicate that following the murder, the suspects visited a local temple in Kardhani, where they reportedly prayed before surrendering to the police. However, this sequence of events has not been officially confirmed by law enforcement.
The primary suspect, Anish Goliya, also known as Jaggu (21), is an engineer who graduated from a private college in Jaipur. He had been employed at a corporate firm until about five months ago. According to police, he orchestrated the murder as revenge for his father's death.
On Wednesday night, in Jagdamba Nagar, the suspects collided Vijay's Fortuner with their camper vehicle. As Vijay attempted to escape, the assailants attacked him with sticks and an axe, leading to his death. Vijay hailed from the village of Tibariyan in Jobner.
DCP West Prashant Kiran confirmed the arrests of Anish Goliya, Kamlesh Goliya (23), Yuvraj Chaudhary (23), and Dinesh Chaudhary (23), all residents of Jobner.
Police received a tip-off around 4 AM on Thursday that the suspects were hiding in Kardhani. They tracked their location and successfully apprehended all four.
DCP Prashant Kiran commended an individual who recorded the murder incident from a rooftop. This person, despite having no prior acquaintance with the suspects, attempted to intervene and stop them.
Investigations revealed that approximately seven years ago, in 2019, Vijay Bajiya and his associates were involved in the murder of Anish's father, Kailash Goliya, in Jobner. This incident sparked an ongoing feud between the two parties.
On the day of the murder, Vijay and Anish had a heated argument, prompting Anish to devise a plan to teach Vijay a lesson with the help of his three accomplices. They purchased an axe prior to the attack.
After tracking Vijay, they rammed his Fortuner with their camper, disabling his vehicle. As Vijay fled on foot, the assailants attacked him with the axe, resulting in his death.
DCP West Prashant Kiran noted that Vijay was a known criminal with 15 cases registered against him across various police stations, including two murder charges. He had been active in the criminal world for nearly a decade and had connections with several gangs.
Vijay had been residing in a rented flat in the Kalwad area and was involved in property dealings. Police investigations revealed that he had previously survived multiple attacks due to ongoing rivalries.
Recently, Vijay was preparing to contest for the position of sarpanch in the Khejrawas Gram Panchayat, having put up posters in the area. However, his criminal background and the cases against him prevented local residents from supporting his candidacy.
