Last week, Bhim Mahabadur Jora, a Nepalese national with a Rs 1 lakh bounty on his head, was killed in a shootout with Gurgaon and Delhi Police.
Jora, the alleged leader of a Nepali gang responsible for thefts across major Indian cities, was wanted in multiple cases, including the murder of Yogesh Chandra Paul in Delhi’s Jangpura area in May 2024, and a Rs 20 lakh theft from the residence of BJP’s Mehrauli District Vice-President Mamta Bharadwaj in Gurgaon’s Sector 49 on October 2, police said.
Jora’s accomplice in the theft was earlier caught by police, and during questioning, he was identified as the alleged mastermind.
