Indore : A dreaded goon of Banganga area was also involved in the sensational killing of a Ravi Pujari gang member in Central Jail last year. The said goon is on the run since the incident.

The matter came to fore during investigation into the Central Jail shootout case when gangster Arjun Tyagi was shot dead inside his barrack. Tyagi was a member of underworld gangster Ravi Pujari of Mumbai and was lodged in connection with some case in Barrack No 4 at Central Jail.

Another inmate Jitendra Rajput who was lodged in Barrack No 4 in the same jail had pumped bulletys into Tyagi in the morning of September 4, 2014. The shootout was an outcome of rivalry between gangs.

During investigation, the crime branch came to know that a local criminal Sanjay Ajab Singh was also active behind the scene to eliminate Arjun Tyagi.

“Though, Sanjay Ajab Singh was not lodged in the Central Jail when inmate Arjun was shot dead, his name was surfaced during probe by crime branch and a senior police officer confirmed this,” Central Jail Superintendent Sanjay Pandey told Free Press.

Shooter Jitendra Rajput had confessed that he was given contract to shoot Tyagi by one Jitendra Awasthi to avenge murder of his accomplice Nanguru. Sanjay was the connecting link between Awasthi and Rajput, reliable sources claimed.

However, despite conducting many raids at all suspected hideouts of Sanjay, police could not trace him as he has been absconding along with family since the shootout case.

Axe may fall on jailor, deputy jailor

If the ongoing departmental enquiry goes against the jail staff, axe may fall on jailor Sujit Khare, deputy jailor Ramesh Marawi, chief warder Pandurang Jaamle and two constable Nitesh Mandloi and Ramesh Mishra.

Mandloi and Mishra were on duty when the inmate Jitendra Rajput had rushed out his barrack no 1 and barged into barrack no 4 where he shot an unaware Arjun.
