Jaipur, Oct 17 (IANS) Seven people arrested in the murder case of businessman Ramesh Rulaniya were produced in the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (ACJM) court on Friday amid heavy security arrangements.
Tight security was maintained at the court premises to prevent any untoward incident during the hearing.
The accused, arrested on October 10 for helping the shooters involved in the crime, were brought to the court in handcuffs under the protection of Quick Reaction Team (QRT) commandos and police personnel.
After the hearing, ACJM judge Kamakshi Meena sent two accused – Pawan Charan and Kishanlal Gurjar – to police custody for three more days.
The remaining five – Shafiq Khan, Ramkesh Gurjar, Ram Singh Gurjar, Khushiram Jat, and Dinesh Chaudhary – were sent to Parbatsar jail under judicial custody.
Police sources confirmed that the Scorpio vehicle used in the murder had already been seized and interrogation during the initial remand period had yielded vital clues.
In a major breakthrough, three of the four main shooters – Ganpat Gurjar, Dharmendra Gurjar and Mahesh Gurjar – were arrested from West Bengal on Thursday, an official said.
The officer said there was a reward of Rs 1 lakh on each. Efforts are on to trace the fourth suspect.
“Investigators believe that more people may be involved in the conspiracy and efforts are underway to identify and apprehend them,” he said.
More developments are expected as the investigation progresses.
