Jhunjhunu: Rohit, a 19-year-old resident of Tola Sehi village in the Surajgarh police station area, who had a reward of ₹5,000 on his head, was absconding in connection with the daylight attack on Sarpanch Sandeep and his associate Devi Singh. Police, with the help of technical surveillance and informers, caught him near a riverbank dressed in women's attire. After the arrest, the accused was paraded in the same market where he had carried out the attack.
Trying to Mislead Police by Hiding in Women's Clothing
SP Brijesh Jyoti Upadhyay said that the accused had been absconding for a long time and was roaming around in women's clothing to avoid arrest. When the police cordoned off the area, a girl was seen sitting by the river. When the police went closer and removed the veil, it turned out to be the same absconding criminal. According to the police, Rohit Monu was included in the list of top ten criminals and had 12 cases already registered against him.
