His name cropped up in connection with the murder of gangster Rajesh Dogra, following which a case was also registered against him at Mohali, the official said.
Who Was Gangster Rajesh Dogra?
Gangster Rajesh Dogra alias Mohan Jheer, who was killed in Mohali, Punjab, once used to run a tea stall outside the Consumer Affairs and Public Distribution Department (CAPD) office in Mubarak Mandi, Jammu.
He then, in collusion with some department officials, began black-marketing government kerosene and rations. From there, he entered the world of crime to such an extent that he became a notorious gangster in Jammu. Rajesh came into the limelight after the Bakra murder case. In the early 2000s, he began committing minor crimes. He first created headlines on November 25, 2006, when the Bakra murder case was reported in Trikuta Nagar due to a gang war. Sanjay Kumar alias Bakra, who had visited Dr. Ratan Kudiyar's clinic in Trikuta Nagar, was shot dead. Following this murder, Rajesh went underground for several years but was later arrested by the Jammu Police.
