Killings of Raju Pargai and Amit Arya
On September 5, 2011, Raju Pargai and Amit Arya were killed at the Nepal border of Uttarakhand.[1] The Uttarakhand police arrested Lucky Bisht in connection with the killings.[2][3]
Victims
[edit]Pargai and Arya had a history of criminal involvement, including murder, kidnapping, and extortion. They had been incarcerated multiple times in connection with various murder cases. Intelligence reports suggested their involvement in the illegal arms trade, playing a significant role in facilitating transportation of weapons from Nepal into India.[4]
Aftermath
[edit]Following his arrest, Bisht spent over four years in jail, during which he was transferred to 11 different jails. Bisht was eventually acquitted by the court, on the grounds of insufficient evidence.[5][6][7][8][9]
