Most of the weapons have been purchased from Dewas while the licenses have been made in back date.
A high profile businessman from the state - a millionaire - running a major marble mining operation in Dungarpur has been arrested by the state police’s Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) in the fake gun license case. The twenty-four-year-old accused is a Master in International Business from a university based in United Kingdom (UK). The youth is one of the four men the ATS arrested on Monday following up in the fake gun license racket case. Interestingly, the youth’s father is also on the ATS’s radar as he too received a fake gun license and is currently on the run. The remaining three men - a cloth merchant, a SIM distributor and a readymade garment business owner - have been arrested from Nathdwara and Sriganganagar towns of the state.
The twenty-four-year-old youth - identified as Hemendra Kalal - is fond of swanky expensive cars. However, it’s interesting to note here that the youth got his gun license when he was a minor. “Hemendra runs the company green marbles private at Dungarpur. We learned about his license and it came to light that he received the same in 2008, when he would have been around fourteen years old. The youth has studied in England” said Vikas Kumar, SP, ATS.
Not just the youth, but even his father is also involved in the same. “While investigating the matter we learned that his father - D K Khera - has also received a license. We had given notice to the father-son duo and when they failed to turn up, the ATS raided one of the mines where the youth had been hiding and arrested him. The father is still on the run” highly placed sources revealed.
Meanwhile, the ATS has also arrested a Nathdwara based cloth merchant and real estate developer and is an avid biker. “The accused - Rajesh Kothari - runs Chandra Prakash Vastra Bhandar at Nathdwara while also running a real estate enterprise. He loves biking and had recently undergone a biking expedition from Jalandhar to Thailand for fifteen days,” the SP informed.
Two more men - both from Sriganganagar - have also been arrested by the ATS. Interestingly, one of them - a SIM card distributor - only made the license to buy a gun as it looked imposing. “Sumit Sidana is a SIM distributor and was in touch with the accused from Dewas who was arrested by the ATS while busting the racket. Those accused used to meet Sumit and were always carrying a weapon. Sumit got infatuated with the weapon and showed his desire to buy the weapon. The men furnished the license and Sumit got a weapon for himself,” Kumar informed. Meanwhile, the fourth accused - Narendra Kumar - is major businessman running a ready-made garment business from Sriganganagar. “Most of the weapons have been purchased from Dewas while the licenses have been made in back date. The men have been associated with earlier arrested accused from Dewas area. Further action in the matter is being taken,” officials said.
