In a shocking case that has emerged from Rajasthan, the Pilani police have arrested a government school principal from Gujarat on serious allegations of orchestrating a contract killing. The principal is accused of hiring assassins to murder a nurse she suspected of having an affair with her husband.
Plot Uncovered During Unrelated Investigation
The intricate murder conspiracy came to light unexpectedly. Jhunjhunu Superintendent of Police Brijesh Jyoti Upadhyay stated that the details were revealed during the interrogation of six suspects. These individuals were initially detained in connection with a separate incident—a firing at a liquor store in Likhwa village that occurred last month.
During questioning, the suspects divulged information about a planned targeted killing. According to police, Kajal Patel, a 39-year-old principal from Mehsana in Gujarat, had allegedly paid criminals operating in the Jhunjhunu area to carry out the murder of the nurse.
Financial Details and Weapon Link
The police investigation has uncovered specific financial transactions related to the alleged contract. The suspects informed the authorities that an advance payment of Rs 1 lakh had already been made for the killing. The total amount agreed upon for the entire contract was reportedly a staggering Rs 15 lakh.
In a revealing connection between the two cases, police said that the arms and ammunition purchased using this advance payment were the same weapons used in the Likhwa village liquor store shootout last month. This link provided a crucial breakthrough for the officers.
Ongoing Interrogation and Probe
The principal, Kajal Patel, is currently in police custody and is undergoing intensive interrogation. The Pilani police are delving deeper into the motives, the network involved, and the full extent of the planning. Further investigations are actively underway to uncover all facets of this complex case, which bridges personal vendetta and organized crime.
This arrest highlights the severe lengths to which personal disputes can escalate and the vigilance of law enforcement in connecting dots between seemingly unrelated criminal activities. The case continues to develop as police piece together the entire sequence of events.
