3 held for murder of Bilara lawyer who wore 1kg gold
Jodhpur: Pali police achieved a major breakthrough in the murder of advocate Narayan Singh Rathore (68) who wore 1kg gold by arresting three persons on Friday.
Rathore was found dead with his hands and legs tied by a rope in an ancient water body at Chandaval village in Sojat on Thursday morning.
The accused, identified as Umesh Soni, Prabhu Patel and Arjun Dewasi, had killed Rathore for robing his gold jewellery he used to wear all the time.
SP (Pali) Rahul Kotoky said that the victim had the habit of wearing heavy gold jewellery all the time, even while he was in the court and the prime accused had an eye on this jewellery.
“He called him up on Wednesday afternoon for selfie with the advocate as he had the habit of obliging others. When he left Bilara, the main accused with two of his accomplices met him at the decided spot and strangulated him,” said Kotoky.
After that they set his car on fire with a view to do away with any possibility of leaving any clue and dumped his body about 20 km away from the spot in an ancient water body in village Chandaval in Sojat city police station.
