Police expand search net; list of over 10 accused prepared
STATE TIMES NEWS
JAMMU: Days after the brutal assault on hotel staff at Trikuta Nagar involving Mohit Aggarwal and Shashank Aggarwal, sons of businessman Rakesh Aggarwal, the situation remains tense as all the accused, including the accomplices who joined the brothers in the attack, are still absconding. Businessman Rakesh Aggarwal, whose name had once figured during the probe of Anara Sex Scandal, is also supporting his sons to evade arrest.
Reliable sources close to the family have revealed that Rakesh Aggarwal is attempting to use similar criminal tactics to protect his sons as he once did to save himself from the Anara Sex Scandal. However, this time, senior police officers are refusing to offer any support, given the gravity of the situation and the aggressive criminal behavior displayed by his sons, who orchestrated the attack on the hotel staff by calling goons from outside.
As the city continues to express outrage over the incident, prominent residents and local political leaders are demanding swift and stringent action against the Aggarwal brothers and their accomplices, urging the authorities to ensure that such criminal behaviour does not go unchecked.
The police investigation has reportedly uncovered a list of over 10 individuals who allegedly accompanied the Aggarwal brothers in their violent rampage against the hotel staff. Despite intensified efforts, multiple raids, and substantial evidence such as CCTV footage, none of the accused have been apprehended so far.
According to sources within the investigation team, the Aggarwal brothers, along with their accomplices, are suspected to have gone into hiding to evade arrest. The police are actively conducting searches in various locations, and lookout notices are being prepared to prevent their escape from the city or state.
“We have identified over 10 accomplices who were part of the mob that assaulted the hotel staff,” a senior police officer revealed. “Efforts are underway to locate and apprehend each one of them. No one involved in this heinous act will be spared.”
The assault, which stemmed from a bill payment dispute on New Year’s Eve, escalated when the Aggarwal brothers called in goons led by Arun Choudhary to unleash a brutal attack on the hotel staff. The violence left the hotel manager with severe head injuries and another staff member with facial fractures, both requiring extensive medical treatment.
The police have reiterated their commitment to justice, assuring the public that no external influence or power will deter their efforts. “Our investigations remain uncompromised, and all those responsible for this horrific attack will face the full force of the law,” the senior police officer said .
