Police in Jaipur are investigating a fatal assault that claimed the life of Vijay Bajiya, a man with a prior criminal record, in what witnesses described as a coordinated and violent attack in broad daylight.
According to initial accounts, the incident unfolded when a vehicle carrying four to six assailants deliberately rammed Bajiya's fortuner sport utility vehicle, forcing it to stop. The attackers then surrounded the vehicle as Bajiya attempted to flee, subjecting him to repeated strikes with an axe during the five-minute assault.
The perpetrators fled the scene shortly after the attack. Video footage of the incident has emerged, providing authorities with potential leads for identification and apprehension of the suspects.
Investigations are ongoing to establish the motive behind the killing and to locate those responsible. Police have registered a case and are examining whether the attack was linked to Bajiya's criminal history or prior disputes.
