Indore: Five individuals have been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting in Dewas, driven by a longstanding personal grudge. The attack took place on the night of April 16-17 in the Bhavani Sagar area, leaving one man dead and another critically injured.
Pre-Planned Assault
According to the Nahar Darwaza police, the accused executed a pre-planned assault on Gautam Nath and his associate Shubham using country-made pistols and sticks. Shubham died instantly from gunfire, while Nath is undergoing treatment for two gunshot wounds to his leg.
Attempt to Mislead Investigation
During the investigation, police uncovered a calculated attempt by the gang to mislead authorities. In an effort to file a false cross-report and confuse the sequence of events, the suspects intentionally shot one of their own accomplices, Varun Bali, in the leg.
Arrests and Motive
A specialized team used technical evidence and informants to track down the suspects. The arrested individuals are: 25-year-old Ritik Sihote, 20-year-old Siddharth, 24-year-old Varun Bali, 34-year-old Monu Sihote, and 34-year-old Vipin Bali. They have been sent to jail.
The police stated that the primary motive was a long-standing personal grudge. While five suspects are in custody, a search is ongoing to apprehend the remaining absconding accomplices involved in the attack.
