A brutal murder in Jaipur's Kardhani area has sent shockwaves across the city after history-sheeter Vijay Bajiya was chased and hacked to death with axes following a planned vehicle ambush.
The attack took place on Wednesday night, November 11, in the Jagdamba Nagar area, where a group of assailants allegedly rammed a pickup vehicle into his Toyota Fortuner before chasing him down and repeatedly attacking him.
The incident was captured on CCTV cameras and mobile phones, with disturbing footage circulating on social media. Police have arrested four accused in connection with the murder, while further investigation is underway.
SUV Rammed, Victim Chased and Attacked
According to police, Bajiya was travelling from Jobner towards Jaipur when four to six men travelling in a camper vehicle intercepted him near Jagdamba Nagar, under the Kardhani police station limits.
The attackers allegedly rammed their vehicle into his Fortuner, forcing him to stop. When Bajiya stepped out and attempted to escape, the assailants chased him, surrounded him and attacked him repeatedly with axes and other weapons.
The assault lasted approximately five minutes. Bajiya sustained fatal injuries and was declared dead after being taken to hospital. An axe was reportedly left embedded in his head, highlighting the brutality of the attack.
Seven-Year-Old Rivalry Suspected
Preliminary investigations point towards an old rivalry between Bajiya and the accused group.
According to police, the prime accused, Anish Golya, allegedly wanted to avenge the murder of his father, Kailash Golya, in 2019. Investigators suspect that the killing was planned as an act of revenge linked to the longstanding dispute.
Police said the accused had allegedly formed a group called '7007'. The investigation is examining the roles of all those involved and the sequence of events leading to the attack.
Four Accused Arrested
Jaipur Police arrested four men in connection with the murder. They have been identified as Anish Golya (21), Kamlesh Golya (23), Dinesh Chaudhary (23) and Yuvraj Chaudhary (23).
All four are residents of Tibaria village under Jobner police station in Jaipur Rural. Police are investigating whether additional individuals were involved in planning or executing the attack.
Attack Raises Concerns Over Public Safety
The murder unfolded in a residential neighbourhood, with several residents and passers-by witnessing the incident. Some recorded the attack on their mobile phones, while others captured it from nearby rooftops.
Police are examining CCTV footage and mobile recordings to reconstruct the sequence of events and gather further evidence. The incident has once again brought attention to gang rivalries, organised criminal activity and public safety in Jaipur.
With four arrests made, investigators are now focusing on establishing the full conspiracy behind the killing and determining whether anyone else was involved.
