Man who gunned down 35-year-old outside Ghaziabad police station held after gunfight
Ghaziabad: The prime accused in the brazen murder of a 35-year-old man, who was gunned down outside Muradnagar police station, was arrested Friday following a gunfight. Monty Chaudhary, 36, a resident of Milak Rawli village, was arrested on Rawli Road after police say he tried to flee a routine patrol. When chased, he allegedly fired at officers, prompting police to return fire. Chaudhary was shot in both legs and taken into custody. Police recovered a country-made pistol, ammunition, and a motorcycle. Monty is the main suspect in the killing of Ravi Sharma, who was gunned down outside Muradnagar police station on Wednesday evening as he stood with family members to file a complaint about an earlier attack on their home. His accomplice, Ajay alias Mini, remains on the run. According to senior officers, Monty told investigators that the shooting was driven by personal enmity. He claimed Sharma's family had made derogatory remarks about his sister, whose marriage prospects were faltering — a sensitive topic in the village. A heated argument with Ravi's father, Ravinder Sharma, earlier that evening over a road rage incident had reportedly inflamed tensions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Florida New Policy for Senior Drivers The Quote General Learn More Undo According to police, around 7.30pm on Wednesday, Ravi, his father and brother Arun had stopped near the gate of Milak Rawali to pick up their two cousins in their Scorpio. Monty and Mini were in their Celerio and honked to be let through. When Ravi's father asked them to wait, they became furious. Heated words were exchanged, and Ravi also got involved. Eventually, both parties drove off, but Monty and Mini followed Ravi's family and fired several rounds at their home, some bullets piercing a tin sheet of a gate in the house. While the family escaped unhurt, they went to the Muradnagar police station later in the night to file a formal complaint. While Ravi Sharma and some of his relatives waited outside the police station, they reportedly spotted Monty on a motorbike, chased him and pinned him. After his arrest, Monty claimed that he and Mini had come to the police station to surrender. "Before he could reach police station, he was confronted by members of the Sharma family. Seeing Ravi and others run towards him, Monty apparently panicked and opened fire," a police officer told TOI. "Two bullets struck Ravi — one in the shoulder, another in the abdomen. Though he also fired at the crowd, no one else was injured. " After the shooting, Monty fled through narrow residential lanes and hitched a ride to Loni where he stayed with a friend overnight. He was heading back home Friday when police arrested him. Following the murder, police protection was extended to the family. Ravi's father, Ravinder Sharma, national vice-president of the Bhartiya Kisan Union (Bhanu), said his family now lives in fear. "Cops were standing there when my son was shot. One of them was filming the incident instead of trying to stop it. No one chased the killer," he alleged. "I have no faith in the police anymore. Once these men are out on bail — and they will get bail — they will come for my other sons and grandchildren. " Sharma said he planned to apply for a firearms licence. "The chief minister's bulldozer seems to have stopped when it comes to real criminals. We are left to protect ourselves," he said. Police say efforts are underway to apprehend the second suspect. They have announced Rs 25,000 reward on Mini.
