Kin stage sit-in demanding arrest of main accused

Ulhasnagar: Tension prevailed in the Camp-5 area of Kailash Colony on Friday evening following the brutal double murder of two brothers in a broad daylight firing incident that has triggered outrage among local residents and the victims’ family members. Relatives of the deceased staged a sit-in protest on the main road, refusing to accept the bodies until all the accused are arrested. The bodies of brothers Anil Harkesh Chouhan (22) and Aman Harkesh Chouhan (17) were brought to their residence around 6:30 pm amid heavy police deployment to prevent any untoward incident. A large number of residents, including women, gathered near the house and raised slogans against the police administration, demanding immediate arrest of the main accused and strict punishment for all those involved in the attack. Protesters alleged that timely police action could have prevented the incident. The agitating relatives warned that they would not take custody of the bodies until the prime accused and all absconding suspects are arrested. The protest led to a tense atmosphere in the locality for several hours. Police officials remained at the spot and attempted to pacify the protesters while additional security personnel were deployed to maintain law and order. According to police, the firing incident took place on Thursday evening at Kailash Colony Chowk, where a gang of nearly 10 to 12 persons allegedly opened fire on members of the Chouhan family over an old rivalry. Anil and Aman Chouhan died on the spot, while Arjun Surajbali Chouhan sustained serious injuries and is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital. While speaking to, ‘The Perfect Voice’, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Amarsinh Jadhav said that two accused Shekhar Birajdar and Ajay Rao have been arrested in connection with the case. He added that four police teams have been formed to trace and arrest the remaining accused, and further investigation is underway. The incident has once again raised serious concerns over law and order in Ulhasnagar, with fear and anger spreading among local residents following the deadly attack.
