Gangster involved in bizman murder had scoped out Patani's UP house: Cops
Jaipur, Nov. 11 -- The Delhi police on Monday revealed that the gangster allegedly responsible for the murder of Kuchaman-based businessman Ramesh Rulania also conducted an alleged reconnaisance of the Bareilly residence of actor Disha Patani ahead of the September 12 firing upon the house.
According to additional commissioner of Delhi Police special cell, Pramod Kushwaha, the accused, Jitu Charan, was arrested from Jaisalmer on November 5. "Last month, he ordered the murder of businessman Ramesh Rulania in Kuchaman city. A bounty of Rs.25,000 was placed on his head by the Delhi police. He was an integral member of Rohit Godara's gang," said Kushwaha.
Rulania, a BJP worker who also owned a motorcycle agency, was shot dead while he was in the gym on October 7 in Kuchaman.
Another senior officer from the special cell confirmed, "During the interrogation, it was found that Charan, in September, also went to stake out actress Disha Patani's house in Bareilly, where two shooters of the gang opened fire late on September 12. We suspect that he might have also been involved in several cases of threats to several other prominent personalities in the country."
Hours after the firing, a man linked to the Rohit Godara-Goldy Brar gang claimed responsibility for the shooting, blaming Khushboo Patani's insult of spiritual figures Sant Premanand Maharaj and Aniruddhacharya. Khushboo is Disha Patani's sister.
"We had arrested seven people in connection with Rulania's murder while a search was underway for Charan. We are already seeking Charan's custody based on a production warrant. It is expected by next week," said Kuchaman additional SP, Nemi Chand Kharia.
"Charan hid himself in a small village in Pokaran, Jaisalmer... Prima facie, Charan used to provide financial and logistical support to assassins from Rohit Godara's gang," he added....
