Jaipur: In a daring operation, criminals killed a gangster in police custody at Rajasthan’s Bharatpur on Wednesday.

Murder-accused Kuldeep Jaghina was shot dead after the miscreants disturbed police personnel guarding the gangster by throwing mirchi powder into their eyes.

The criminals attacked their target when police were taking the gangster from Jaipur jail to Bharatpur court. The incident took place near Amoli toll plaza, on the Jaipur-Agra National Highway, about 40 km from the district headquarters.

Police have seized the vehicles of the accused after recovering them from a nearby village.

The most likely reason of the crime is revenge of Kripal Jaghina’s killing. The BJP leader was shot dead on September 4, 2022.

Investigation in the case is ongoing based on an FIR filed in connection with the murder.
