Early Thursday, Raju was spotted riding a motorbike near the Baad railway station. When confronted, he opened fire, prompting police to retaliate.

This arrest marks a significant breakthrough in the case, which highlights the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to combat organized crime and gang violence in the region. The investigation is ongoing, with police working to unravel the complex web of gang affiliations and motivations behind the murder.
