Rohtak Police Arrest Three After Encounter in Double-Murder Case

Police cite an old rivalry as the motive, alleging the suspects planned another attack.

Overview

  • The men — Sanjay, 41, Virender, 29, and Rohit, 24 — were detained Friday morning in Rohtak’s Industrial Model Township after officers intercepted their scooter.
  • Police say Sanjay fired first, prompting retaliatory fire that left him with a gunshot wound while the others were hurt in a fall during their attempted escape.
  • Investigators report recovering a country-made pistol believed to be the murder weapon, three live rounds, and the scooter used by the suspects.
  • The arrests follow the November 7 shootings of Dharambir, 58, and his 22-year-old son Deepak Kumar in Baliyana village, which officers attribute to a longstanding feud.
  • Authorities say the trio had also targeted another person in Baliyana, with the case under investigation and the suspects receiving treatment at PGIMS.
