A priest was brutally attacked and robbed by a group of men in Jaipur’s Kardhani area in the early hours of the morning. The incident, which was caught on CCTV, shows the priest, 40-year-old Subhash, riding his scooty when he was deliberately hit from behind by an SUV. Moments later, four to five men got out of the vehicle and assaulted him mercilessly before fleeing with his belongings.
The attack took place around 2.30 am, as Subhash was returning home after performing rituals at a wedding in Govindpura. According to reports, the accused beat him with sticks before taking away his bag containing money, mobile phone, and even the scooty key. The entire sequence of events was recorded on CCTV, providing crucial evidence for the police investigation.
The CCTV footage shows the attackers ramming the priest’s scooty, causing him to fall. They then descended upon him, assaulting him repeatedly before grabbing his belongings and fleeing the scene. The brazen nature of the crime has raised concerns over law and order in Jaipur, as criminals continue to operate with impunity.
The Jaipur police have launched an investigation and are analysing the CCTV footage to identify and apprehend the culprits.
