Another sharpshooter held in Basai triple murder case

Gurgaon: A sharpshooter was arrested in the city in connection with a triple murder case on August 20 last year, police said on Sunday. The accused has been identified as Rahul from Bilaspur, they said.
The incident was linked to a dispute between two gangs over a 1,000 square yard plot in Basai. Multiple arrests have been made in this case in the past one year.
Rahul was involved in five more criminal cases, including double murders in Rewari, said an officer. He was working for the Pawan Nehra gang. “Rahul had killed three members of the rival gang. He had fled the city soon after the murders but was in touch with his gang members. This helped us trace him,” said ACP (crime) Preet Pal Sangwan.
The murders were a fallout of the rivalry between the two gangs — the Johnny gang and the Hariom gang. The gangs have been responsible for killing around six persons from each other’s clan in the last two years.
According to police, Amit alias Kala, a close aide of Hariom had illegally sold a plot of Johnny and Monny and it had led to conflict between the two groups. A few months back, Amit had allegedly killed Monny in Rewari. To avenge the murder of his brother, Johnny killed Amit’s associate Sanju. Amit and Johnny were arrested and sent to jail.
Amit’s mother Bala Devi (57) and his uncle Narender (53) managed to get Amit released on parole on August 13, 2020. Amit wanted to avenge the murder of his associate and he planned to kill Johnny’s associates.
Amit engaged his cousin brother Pawan Nehra and a few others and killed Johnny’s associates Sashikant alias Sunny, Anmol and Sameer. A case was registered in this case at Sector 9 police station on August 21 under sections 302 (murder), 307 (attempt to murder), 148, 149 of IPC and various sections of the Arms Act.
On August 20, Anmol, Sunny and Angrez were discussing something on a vacant plot in the backside of the Wing Apartment in sector 9 when six youths on three bikes arrived and fired indiscriminately.
Angrez managed to escape while Sunny and Anmol were shot dead. The accused fled from the spot on their bikes. Around 3 km away in Basai a youth identified as Sameer was shot dead by a group of youths.
ACP said the situation has calmed down with the arrest of multiple members of both gangs. Johnny and Hariom are also in jail.
