According to the police, Pawan Kumar, a resident of Malikpur village in Bhiwadi, was initially arrested in a murder case in Dharuhera of Rewari in 2016. The police said that in the incident that took place at 6.40pm on April 22, 2016, Kumar was among a group of people who, travelling on motorcycles, had shot at one Ajay Singh in Dharuhera, over a personal rivalry.

Singh was rushed to a nearby hospital but had later succumbed to injuries.

Kumar was booked under sections 302 (murder), 148 (rioting, armed with deadly weapon) and 149 (every member of unlawful assembly guilty of offence committed in prosecution of common object) of the Indian Penal Code and section 25/54/59 of The Arms Act at Dharuhera police station.

Surender Kumar, station house officer (SHO), Bhondsi police station, said that Kumar was sentenced to life imprisonment in the case and was lodged in Bhondsi jail.

A police team has conducted a raid in his native village but he is at large and efforts are on to trace him,” said the police official.
