Police arrested Kanhaiyalal, the main accused in the murder of forest ranger Patap Singh Chundawat, after locating him in Ghosundi forest, Rajasthan.
Forest ranger Patap Singh Chundawat was fatally injured when a dumper crushed him while he was attempting to halt illegal mining activities in the Patapgarh area of Rajasthan. The incident sparked a swift police investigation into the perpetrators behind the attack.
Investigators identified Kanhaiyalal as the principal suspect linked to the murder. After a coordinated search operation, law enforcement officials tracked him to the dense foliage of Ghosundi forest, where he was apprehended without further incident.
Authorities said the arrest underscores the department’s resolve to combat illegal mining and bring those responsible for violence against forest officials to justice. The case remains under investigation, and additional suspects, if any, will be pursued in accordance with the law.
