Notorious Rajasthan Gangster Storms Kolkata Housing Complex

In a dramatic incident on October 16th, a Rajasthan gangster wanted for murder broke into a Kolkata housing complex and led police on a tense chase before being apprehended. The fugitive, identified as Dharmendra Gujjar, is sought in the killing of a Rajasthan businessman earlier this month.

Around 8:20 pm on the 16th, Gujjar scaled the perimeter wall of the Purbachal Cluster IV in Salt Lake and entered a resident's ground-floor flat, claiming to be a police officer. When the resident's husband asked him to leave, Gujjar fled upstairs, broke through a door, and tried to hide on a fourth-floor parapet.

After a 15-minute pursuit, police finally caught Gujjar as he attempted to enter the adjacent IPS housing compound. Two of his accomplices were arrested earlier, while one remains at large.
