Wanted for MP massacre and hiding in Gurugram, man lands in Gujarat police net

On Monday, the Gujarat Police announced that they had arrested Ramusingh Dhirasingh Tomar, 37, from Gurugram in Haryana. Tomar is wanted for the murder of six family members in Morena, Madhya Pradesh, in 2023. He is one of nine individuals booked for the incident, which occurred during a blood feud between two families over a land dispute.

In 2013, Tomar's two uncles were killed in the same feud when they were allegedly murdered by Ranjitsingh Munnesingh Tomar and his family members. The motive for the 2023 murders was to avenge these earlier killings. On May 5, 2023, members of one family group opened fire on the other family group, killing Keshkali, Babli, Madhu, Gajendra Singh Tomar, Satyaprakash, and Sanju.

Tomar fled the scene after the killings. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) was formed to investigate, and a list of accused was published to locate the absconding individuals. Among them was Ramusingh Dhirasingh Tomar. The Gujarat Police offered a reward of Rs 30,000 for information leading to his arrest. The Detection of Crime Branch (DCB) of Ahmedabad City Police took up the case, tracing Tomar to a warehouse in the Gopalpur GIDC area of Gurugram.

Upon learning of Tomar's location, the DCB set up a watch on Garhi-Harsaru Road in Gopalpur GIDC and successfully apprehended him. The Ahmedabad Crime Branch is now in the process of transferring Tomar to the Sihoniya Police Station in Madhya Pradesh, where he will face the charges for the 2023 murders.
