**CRPF Jawan Shot Dead in Haryana: Investigation Underway**
A Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawan, identified as Krishan Kumar, was tragically shot dead outside his home in Sonipat, Haryana, on July 28. The incident occurred just days after he was involved in a confrontation with several local men during the Kanwar Yatra in Haridwar. Authorities have arrested three individuals in connection with the murder.
Krishan, approximately 30 years old and on leave at the time, was returning home in the early hours of Monday when two suspects opened fire on him. Local police officer Inspector Lal Singh reported that the altercation during the Kanwar Yatra involved some youths from Krishan’s village, who have since been identified.
Investigations suggest that a conspiracy to kill Krishan was planned prior to his pilgrimage to Haridwar. The suspects allegedly intended to target another individual, Anand alias Pahiya, alongside Krishan. Police have named Nishant and Ajay as the primary suspects in the case.
Before the Kanwar Yatra, Ajay reportedly left an unlicensed firearm with an associate named Mohit. Praveen alias Mendhak is also implicated in the incident. The murder was executed using a vehicle belonging to a man named Sagar, who has also been arrested. Ajay and Nishant used Sagar’s car to travel to the village of Kheri Damkan, where they shot Krishan before fleeing the scene.
Currently, police are conducting raids to apprehend the main suspects, Nishant and Ajay, who remain at large. The three arrested individuals have been presented in court and remanded for one day. Krishan is survived by his wife and child, leaving a grieving family in the wake of this tragic event.
