Wanted Chambal dacoit grants exclusive interview from hideout

Kalli Gurjar, one of the most wanted dacoits operating in the Chambal region, has eluded a search operation involving over 200 police personnel and managed to reach Rajasthan, according to reports. In an exclusive interview granted from his hideout in the Chambal badlands, Gurjar denied involvement in crimes he is accused of, attributing the charges to local rivalries and disputes. The dacoit claimed he would be willing to surrender to authorities if an impartial investigation were conducted into the allegations against him. His ability to evade the large-scale combing operation has raised questions about enforcement challenges in the remote and rugged Chambal region, which has long been a refuge for criminal elements. The interview marks an unusual development in the ongoing manhunt, as Gurjar used the platform to appeal for a fair hearing while remaining at large.
