Faridabad: Police here have intensified their search for the
contractor Rajpal Chauhan who has been absconding since Monday morning when the
driver of his truck ran over a constable at a check post at Palla in Faridabad.
A case of murder was registered against Chauhan after his driver Pappu claimed
he had acted under orders. The accused had driven up to the Delhi border along
with the truck that was carrying sand mined illegally from the Yamuna bed, but
fled on seeing Pappu caught by the police.
Faridabad police said they had formed several teams to nab Chauhan. The Sarai Khawaja police station, which is investigating the case, reported that two teams were raiding Chauhan’s likely hideouts and residences of his acquaintances in Faridabad. Another team has been sent to Chauhan’s hometown Alwar in Rajasthan. Chauhan has lived in Sector 30, Faridabad for the last seven years. His family is being questioned and his mobile phones have been put under surveillance.
Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Tuesday announced ex-gratia compensation of Rs 10 lakh for the next of kin of the killed constable, Mahabir Singh (46). Hooda said the guilty would be punished severely so that such incidents do not occur again. Haryana DGP Ranjiv Dalal also announced a compensatory job for a member of the constable’s family. The deceased is survived by his wife and two children who are studying in Rohtak.
Sources said Chauhan has at least one more dumper that he uses to transport illegally mined sand. “He has been active in the Palla area for the last five years but we are yet to find any criminal case against him,’’ said the investigating officer of the case.
