In a chilling crime incident, a man was killed with an axe in Jaipur by a group of men who stopped him by ramming their pick-up truck into his SUV from behind in the city's Kardhani area on Wednesday. A video of the incident has gone viral on the internet, showing how attackers in a camper van deliberately rammed his Fortuner SUV, chased him on foot, and killed him with axes and sticks in Jagdamba Nagar.
The deceased has been identified as Vijay Bajiya. The clip showed the attackers' Mahindra Bolero Camper ramming into a Toyota Fortuner, from which Bajiya, who was a police history-sheeter due to an extensive criminal record, got out and ran. However, he was overpowered within a few feet and hacked to death on the street of the densely populated residential area. An axe was left stuck in his skull as his body lay on the street.
Bajiya was driving to Jaipur from Jobner when the attackers struck, reported NDTV. At least five men attacked him with stones, sticks and axes, killing him on the spot.
The attack was captured by some passers-by on their mobile phones and some from the rooftops of nearby houses.
