It may be mentioned here that Najam is younger brother of ace shooter Mehraj, who represented India in london Olympics 2012, Common Wealth games 2011 held in New Delhi and 2014 Asian Games. The brother duo were also booked by police in February 2012 for allegedly killing a Sambar deer, local cops in Bulundshahr disclosed. However, Allahabad High Court had stayed their arrest in the case, they added. Further investigations are on and the cops at Bulundshahr claimed that they would now appraise the High Court of the fresh development so that further legal proceedings could be made in both the cases.
Meanwhile Special Task Force (STF) also claimed to have arrested one Shivmurat Kol, hailing from Markundi area of Chitrakot, in an late Fridayevening operation in Pune on Friday. IG (STF) Sujeet Pandey said that Kol, having a cash prize of Rs 65,000 on his arrest, was a member of hardened dacoit, Ambika aka Thokiya. Kol had escaped from police custody after he along with a dozen other hardened criminals had put chilly powder in the eyes of police team which was accompanying them from district jail to court in Chitrakut on August 8, 2012. All the criminals cut the iron net of the police vehicle and escaped. Since then Kol managed to dodge the police.
Pandey said that few days back, the STF team trailing behind Kol learnt about his presence in Pune so finally on Friday evening, they located his presence at Gandhi Chowk in Pune, so a team rushed and managed to arrest him successfully. He will be now brought to Chitrakut and produced in the designated court.
