Rajasthan: Two cars attempt to mow down bike-borne men, shots fired in retaliation
Jaipur (PTI): Two criminal gangs allegedly clashed in Kotputli-Behror district, with one group attempting to run over three bike-borne men using a Thar and a Swift, while the other group retaliated by firing at the vehicles, police said on Friday.
A CCTV footage of the clash surfaced on Friday morning.
The incident took place on Wednesday evening on Harsora Road in Bansur town, police said, adding that families from both sides have filed FIRs for attempt to murder.
According to the police, a Thar and a Swift vehicle coming from the direction of Bansur, initially rammed into the bike carrying Mahipal Gurjar, Ghanshyam Gurjar and Kalu. The impact threw all three to the ground.
Mahipal Gurjar immediately pulled out a pistol and fired at the Thar. The Swift tried to hit Gurjar again, but he climbed onto a nearby wall and continued to fire at the attackers.
After the bike riders fled, the men in the Thar and Swift got down and smashed the motorcycle with iron rods, creating panic in the area, police said.
They said the attack appears to be linked to an old rivalry between Mahipal Gurjar and Vinod Poswal. The motive behind the feud is yet to be clarified. There were around eight to ten men in the four wheelers vehicles.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Megha Goyal said police has launched a search operation to apprehend the suspects by putting up checkpoints.
A forensics team was called to the scene to collect evidence, and two empty cartridges were recovered from the scene.
"Teams from Bansur, Harsora and Basdayal police stations are conducting raids to trace the accused," the officer said.

Congress using hijab issue to pacify minority anger, alleges Karnataka LoP R Ashoka
Bengaluru: Leader of Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashoka has accused the Congress government of using the hijab issue to placate what he described as discontent among minority voters after the Davanagere by-election.
In a post on X on Wednesday, Ashoka alleged that the state government, instead of addressing issues such as price rise, corruption, farmers’ distress and law and order, was attempting to retain its minority vote base by reviving the hijab issue.
Referring to the 2022 dress code introduced by the BJP government, which prohibited hijab in schools and colleges, Ashoka said the Karnataka High Court had upheld the policy and emphasised the importance of discipline in educational institutions.
He questioned the Congress government’s move to revisit the issue and asked whether setting aside the court-backed policy to benefit one community could be described as secularism.
Ashoka further alleged that while the government was willing to permit hijab, it continued to prohibit saffron shawls.
He accused the government of dividing students on religious lines rather than treating schools and colleges as spaces of equality.
Drawing a comparison with Mamata Banerjee’s government in West Bengal, Ashoka claimed that excessive appeasement politics had harmed the state and warned that the Congress in Karnataka could face a similar political response.
He said voters in Karnataka would teach the Congress a lesson for what he termed “vote-bank politics” and for compromising constitutional and judicial principles.
