Seven Detained After Woman Shot Dead in Dausa Land Dispute

Police action followed a highway blockade that ended after assurances of arrests, compensation, plus a job for the victim’s son.

Overview

  • Kailashi Devi, 52, was fatally shot on Thursday morning in Bagdiyon ki Baas village under Baswa police station limits in Dausa, Rajasthan.
  • Police said a long-running boundary feud escalated when Gopal’s family tried to restore uprooted pillars, after which accused Rajendra Saini allegedly opened fire.
  • Officers detained the suspected shooter and six others in Alwar as they allegedly attempted to flee toward Uttar Pradesh, with teams pursuing remaining suspects.
  • At least nine relatives were hurt in a stick fight and treated at Baswa Hospital, while sister-in-law Bidam Devi, 53, sustained a head wound and was referred to Dausa District Hospital in critical condition.
  • Villagers placed the body outside Baswa Police Station and blocked the Alwar–Sikandra highway for roughly five hours, with the protest ending around 1 pm following official assurances.
