In a decisive move against gang-related crime, Fatehabad police on Friday paraded five accused in the Sachin alias Chinna murder case through the streets of Bhuna. The exercise aimed to recreate the sequence of events and identify locations linked to the crime.
Public Concern Over Gang Activity
The police action came amid growing concern among traders, shopkeepers, and residents over gang activity in the town. As the accused were escorted through busy market areas, large numbers of people stepped out of their homes and shops to witness the proceedings.
Technical Fault Led to On-Foot Parade
Police officials stated that the accused were initially being transported in a vehicle for the crime scene reconstruction. However, a technical fault developed in the vehicle, forcing the authorities to continue the parade on foot. The accused were subsequently taken to various locations connected with the case for identification and verification of facts.
Route Covered Key Areas
The route covered several prominent areas, including Shaheed Udham Singh Chowk, Uklana Road, New Market, Hisar Road, the Telephone Exchange area, the lane near the Government Girls College, Old Market, and Dada Khera lane, before concluding at the police station.
Identification of the Accused
Bhuna SHO Bijender Singh Hooda identified the arrested individuals as Parvesh alias Michu of Khedi Chowk, Karthik alias Karu of Kamboj Mohalla, Deepak alias Billa, Sanjay alias Chidimar of Ward No. 1, and Aman of Ward No. 9. According to the police investigation, the accused allegedly abducted 23-year-old Sachin alias Chinna, a resident of Ward No. 5, and assaulted him on Hisar Road. He later succumbed to his injuries during treatment.
Case and Investigation
The case was registered based on a complaint filed by the victim's uncle, Krishan Kumar, against 10 named persons and 15 others. Following the arrests, police obtained the accused's remand and conducted the crime scene reconstruction as part of the ongoing investigation.
Public Reaction
Residents noted that this was the first time accused linked to a gang-related murder case had been publicly paraded through Bhuna's streets in such a manner. Many viewed the exercise as an attempt to send a strong message and reinforce public confidence in law enforcement. Traders and shopkeepers welcomed the police action, stating it would help create a sense of security and deter criminal elements.
Senior Officers Monitored Operation
Senior officers, including DSP Nar Singh Bishnoi and DSP Kulwant Singh, monitored the operation from the police station, ensuring the smooth conduct of the parade.
