An electronics goods trader was shot dead late on Monday night by a rape convict, who was out on parole. The murder was captured on CCTV camera. The rape convict shot him dead with an illegal pistol after a brawl.
The altercation started when the trader, identified as Anil Chaurasia, was stopped by a few drunken goons in front of the Badi Mata Temple in the Bajariya locality under the Charkhari Kotwali area. The argument quickly escalated into a brawl and the accused, Dhirendra alias Hemu Raja, shot him dead.
Dhirendra was released on parole two months ago. However, since his release, he has been creating a nuisance every day in the area after drinking alcohol with his friends. The police recovered the body and registered a case.
