Jitendra Singh alias Jeetu Charan, alleged to be the key accused in the murder of businessman Ramesh Rulaniya of Kuchaman City (Kuchaman-Deedwana District), has been arrested. According to the police, the Counter Intelligence Cell of Delhi Police picked him up from Pokharan in Jaisalmer district five days ago. He carried a bounty of Rs 25,000 on him.
Rajasthan police will now send a team to Delhi with a production warrant to bring him to the state for interrogation. Jeetu, a resident of Kardala village in the Rupangarh police station area of Ajmer district, is believed to be associated with the Rohit Godara gang, a faction linked in the past to the Lawrene Bishnoi network and accused in multiple cases across Rajasthan, Haryana, and Delhi-NCR
Additional SP of Anti-Gangster Task Force of Rajasthan Siddhant Sharma told The Indian Express, “We have received information regarding his arrest. We will bring him to Rajasthan for interrogation in the Kuchaman businessman murder case. It is said he was directly involved. Further details and his involvement in other cases will be clear after interrogation.”
Rulaniya was gunned down inside a gym on October 7, prompting the Rajasthan police to launch search operations for him at several locations. Police sources said Jeetu was handling the work of Rohit Godara gang and is allegedly involved in several criminal cases, including the recce of film actor Disha Patani’s house in Uttar Pradesh before the shooting.
The Rajasthan Police have already arrested four other accused — Ganpat Gurjar, Dharmendra Gurjar, Mahesh Gurjar from Kolkata and Juber Ahmad from Indore. All four carried a reward of Rs 1 lakh.
Ganpat was the one who allegedly shot Rulaniya inside the gym, while Dharmendra waited outside in a car. Juber and Mahesh were reportedly involved in planning the attack. The group had travelled to different states to evade arrest, but intelligence inputs led to their arrest within 10 days of the incident.
Further details will be clear once Jeetu is brought back to Rajasthan for questioning.
