Fourth person arrested in Jethava murder case

AHMEDABAD: City crime branch officials have arrested the fourth person in Amit Jethava murder case on Sunday from Una in Junagadh during ongoing investigation. Sanjay Chauhan, the arrested, had pointed out Jethava to Shailesh Pandya and Pachan Shiva, involved in the case.
According to crime branch officials, Chauhan, a farmer in Kodinar, was involved with Bahadursinh Wadher, a police constable, to whom he had pointed out Jethava on a couple of occasions, and was entrusted with the duty to guide the killers to Jethava.
"He had already shown Jethava to the duo on a couple of occasions in Ahmedabad itself in the fifth month and soon after. He had shown them his house and office along with his usual route so as to give them the best opportunity to stage a shootout," said a senior crime branch official.
A team led by inspector SM Chaudhary working in Junagadh and Rajkot nabbed Chauhan, 22, a resident of Ajar village near Una on Sunday after his questioning. Earlier, the team has arrested Bahadursinh Wadher, Sameer Haji Rasool Vohra and Pachan Shiva in connection with this case.
Officials are yet to get the players behind the curtains. However, officials indicated that the trip to Diu, Una and Kodinar proved to be fruitful as they have got some definite leads in the case.
Jethava, a green activist and working on grassroots with the power of RTI, was shot dead near Satyamev Complex opposite Gujarat High Court, on July 20 evening. The bike and clothes found from the spot proved to be crucial for further investigation, said officials.
