Rs 1 Crore Demand Ignites Deadly Hotel Attack in Ranchi
8 Mar
Summary
- Two armed men opened fire at a Ranchi hotel after an extortion demand was not met.
- A waiter died during the attack, which is linked to gangster Prince Khan.
- The hotel operator had previously received a Rs 1 crore extortion demand.
A violent incident unfolded at Hotel Teetos in Ranchi when armed individuals, reportedly linked to gangster Prince Khan, opened fire. The attack occurred after a substantial extortion demand of Rs 1 crore was allegedly made to the hotel operator. Tragically, a waiter named Manish Gop sustained fatal injuries during the gunfire and later died while receiving treatment.
Investigators are exploring the connection to Prince Khan, who is believed to be operating internationally and is wanted in multiple criminal cases, with a Red Corner Notice issued against him. He is suspected of being in Dubai or nearby countries, directing criminal activities. The hotel operator had reportedly received the extortion call on December 25, and his security cover, provided after the complaint, was withdrawn shortly before the shooting.
This incident highlights the reach of organized crime, with authorities investigating the motive which may also include a recent land dispute settlement that might have drawn the gangster's attention. Police are analyzing CCTV footage and gathering evidence to apprehend those responsible.
