A source said the New Delhi Range of Crime Branch received information that the two accused were hiding in Chandigarh, and senior officers at the Delhi Police headquarters asked them to leave for a raid immediately.
Hours after three men were arrested in connection with the murder of Shri Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena president Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi from Chandigarh, the Chandigarh police claimed on Sunday they had no information about where the accused were nabbed from.
However, sources said the joint team of Rajasthan Police and Delhi Police apprehended two of the three men – Rohit Rathore and Nitin Fauji – after conducting a raid at a guest house in Sector 24 in Chandigarh on Sunday evening. They also nabbed their associate identified as Udham.
“The assailants had checked in at Kamal Palace around 7.40 pm. They submitted photocopies of their Aadhaar cards and paid Rs 900 for a room for one day,” said a source.
“Around 8 pm, a team, whose members were in plain clothes and uniforms, came and asked the receptionist about the two people wanted in a murder case. The team members showed photographs of the suspects to the hotel manager, Bhim Sen, who also arrived at the hotel. Later, the police team overpowered them,” added the source.
Sen told The Indian Express the police team members checked the recording of CCTV cameras after nabbing the two suspects. “Later, we found that the footage of the camera of the time when the suspects had entered our hotel was missing,” he said.
“This morning, a team of Chandigarh police came to us inquiring about what had happened last night here. We told them about the incident last night. We also told the Chandigarh police that the team members, who had apprehended the suspects, had told us not to disclose the episode to anyone,” added Sen.
Meanwhile, Inspector Malkit Singh, Station House Officer, Police Station 11, said, “We came to know that the two assailants had stayed at a non-descript guest house Kamal Palace in Sector 24 through media reports. Ideally, Rajasthan or Delhi Police should inform us about the arrest of two killers from Sector 24. They did not”.
Earlier in the day, Gurmukh Singh, DSP (Central) had said they did not get any information from either Delhi Police or Rajasthan Police regarding the arrest of the assailants in a murder case reported in Rajasthan.
Gogamedi, 50, was shot dead by three men, including Rathore and Fauji, at his home in Jaipur on Tuesday. One of the gunmen was subsequently killed in retaliatory firing.
