A shooter belonging to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang had his hands and legs tied before he was set on fire in Haryana, police said on Monday. Rajan, who was involved in several gang wars, was found murdered this morning in Yamunanagar district.
Gangster Davinder Bambiha claimed responsibility for his killing in a Facebook post, naming who he alleged had carried out the task.
Rajan's body was identified by his cousin Prince, who said he had no ties with his family. His hands and legs were tied and several body parts missing.
He was married and had a child, but was living away from his house for over a year, according to Prince.
He was a resident of Ladwa and the reason behind his murder is not yet known, said a senior police officer.
Bambiha, in his online post, pointed to the killings of singer Sidhu Moosewala and Rajput leader Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi. Gogamedi was shot dead at his Jaipur home last December while Moosewala was killed in 2022.
Rohit Godara, a gangster closely associated with the gangs of Goldie Brar and Lawrence Bishnoi, is an accused in both the cases.
