SOG sleuths said that Vedva admitted to have raped a minor girl in Jodhpur in Rajasthan three months ago when he was on the run. “We have informed the Jodhpur police about him,” said police. Vedva further told the police that after he jumped the parole, he used to stay on a footpath in Jodhpur.
Vedva had committed loot and was also involved in gang rape case along with his brothers in 2012 in Viramgam near Ahmedabad. He was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment. He got parole from the Sabarmati Jail on January 6 and was to return by January 21, but he fled.
