Jaipur: Rajasthan Police have arrested a man linked to the murder of a former ABVP district secretary in Churu. The suspect, Amit Kaswan alias Mitla, was wanted with a reward of Rs 15,000 on his head.
To avoid capture, Kaswan was found begging in Pushkar and Mumbai, living among other beggars to stay beneath the radar. Police conducted in-depth operations and reviewed nearly 400 pieces of CCTV footage to track his movements, ultimately creating a detailed route map that led to his apprehension.
According to DSP Sunil Jhajharia, the victim, 28-year-old Narendra Prajapat, was viciously beaten to death with sticks and rods on November 1 near Dabla village within the Sadar police station jurisdiction. The murder is believed to have stemmed from an old feud involving Kaswan, Shubham Dhaka, and Hitesh Kumawat. A complaint filed by Prajapat’s uncle initiated the investigation.
Using cyber cell data and tips from informants, police located Kaswan in Maharashtra. He was subsequently arrested and brought back to Churu for questioning.
DSP Jhajharia noted that Kaswan is also the main suspect in a Rs 1.50 crore robbery in Jaipur and has a total of 12 criminal cases against him. His accomplice, Hitesh Kumawat, was detained on November 11, while police are still searching for the third suspect, Shubham Dhaka.
To evade the authorities, Kaswan disguised himself as a beggar during the Pushkar fair and later in Mumbai. A specialized team led by SHO Balwant Singh was created to pursue him, conducting raids across several locations, including Jaipur, Sikar, Fatehpur, Jodhpur, and Nagaur, ultimately leading to his arrest.
