Balraj Gill, accused in the Gurugram hotel murder case, was arrested by a team of Gurugram Police in West Bengal on Thursday. Balraj Gill is accused of murdering gangster Sandeep Gadoli’s girlfriend and former Gurugram model Divya Pahuja in the hotel and absconding. A police officer has given information about the arrest of absconding accused Balraj Gill. According to sources, accused Balraj Gill was planning to flee abroad, but the police foiled his plan and arrested him before he could escape.
Gurugram Police had on Wednesday issued a lookout circular against Gill and another accused Ravi Banga, and also issued a reward of Rs 50,000 on them. Accused Balraj Gill has been arrested by the police, but another accused Ravi Banga is still absconding.
Hotel City Point owner Abhijeet Singh had allegedly shot dead 27-year-old Divya Pahuja on January 2.
According to the police, Abhijeet and Divya were in a relationship. There were some objectionable pictures of Abhijeet in Divya’s mobile phone, which she had refused to delete. Therefore, in anger, Abhijeet killed the girl.
Balraj and Ravi are being suspected because both of them are friends of Abhijeet and it is believed that Divya’s lifeless body was taken by Balraj and Ravi in the trunk of the car and thrown somewhere in Punjab.
During investigation, the police came to know that Balraj Gill and Ravi Banga were also involved in this murder. Balraj Gill is a resident of Sector-5, Panchkula and Ravi Banga is a resident of Gurudwara Road Model Town, Hisar.
So far, the police have arrested five people in the case of Divya’s murder: main accused Abhijeet Singh, his associate Om Prakash, Hemraj, a woman Megha and Balraj Gill.
The woman who has been arrested in the murder case of Divya is accused of helping in throwing away the murder weapon, documents and personal belongings of Divya Pahuja. He had also helped the main accused Abhijeet Singh in hiding.
After killing Divya, Abhijeet put her body in the boot of a BMW car, in which he was assisted by Om Prakash and Hemraj.
After that Balraj and Ravi ran away with Divya’s body. Female accused Megha told the police that when she reached the hotel on January 2, she saw Divya’s dead body there.
Sources said that Abhijeet asked the female accused Megha to dispose of the belongings of the deceased girl Divya, but she was very scared and she was fearfully following Abhijeet’s instructions.
Information about Megha has been received from sources that she used to work in an online food delivery company.
Regarding Divya’s body, police say that Divya’s body may have been thrown near Patiala.
The BMW car which was used to take Divya’s body to Patiala, has been recovered. But the body has not been recovered yet. During police interrogation, Abhijeet told that Divya used to blackmail him and extort money from him.
Divya came in contact with Abhijeet through jailed gangster Binder Gujjar. Binder Gujjar is believed to be the key conspirator of the alleged “fake encounter” between Gurugram police and gangster Sandeep Gadoli that took place in Mumbai in 2016.
The main accused in this case was Divya Pahuja. He was later arrested in connection with the gangster’s murder and spent seven years in jail in this case.
Bombay High Court had granted bail to Divya in June last year. He was murdered less than a year after his release from prison. Divya’s family members accused Sandeep Gadoli’s family members of her murder and said that Sandeep Gadoli’s family members had conspired with Abhijeet to murder Divya.
