A 25-year-old man wanted in connection with 15 criminal cases was killed in a violent attack in a Jaipur residential neighbourhood on Monday. According to police, the suspect, identified as Vijay Bajiya, was pursued by a group of four to six men travelling in a camper vehicle who rammed his Fortuner SUV repeatedly before attacking him with axes.
Surveillance camera footage from the area captured the sequence of events, showing the camper vehicle colliding with Bajiya's Fortuner multiple times during the chase through residential streets. The attackers then emerged from their vehicle and repeatedly struck the victim with axes in what investigators are treating as a targeted killing.
Police have launched an investigation into the incident and are examining CCTV footage to identify the assailants. Bajiya's criminal history included involvement in multiple cases registered across the city. Authorities are exploring whether the killing was related to criminal rivalry, personal disputes, or settling of scores.
The incident has heightened concerns over law and order in the city, prompting police to increase patrols in residential areas. Investigators said they are cross-referencing Bajiya's known associates and criminal record to determine the motive behind the killing.
