Missing transporter found dead
Meghrajsinh Jhala had gone to recover money with the help of his so-called friend Gopal Singh from UP.
The body of the transporter, Meghrajsinh Jhala, 27, who had gone incommunicado after February 22,when he had last called up his family members to say that he was with his friend Gopal Singh of Itawa in Uttar Pradesh, was fished out from Gomti river in Mathura on March 10.
Jhala, who had settled down in Rajkot few years ago and was running Shubhangini Transport and Tours 'n Travels, had gone to Assam from Ahmedabad on February 16.
While returning he went to Itawa station where Gopal Singh was waiting for him for the proposed trip to Mathura to collect dues from Rambabu, for whom some transportation work had been undertaken by Jhala.
He had called up his family and told them that he was staying at some farm house in Mathura. However, when there was no news about him for the next eight days the family members contacted some relatives staying in Agra and then reached Mathura.
They informed Mathura police that Jhala was to recover a sum of Rs 90,000 from Rambabu,who denied that he was contacted by Jhala. Efforts to track down Gopal Singh failed initially. However, the plot unfolded when Gopal Singh's brother confessed to the murder on being questioned by the police.
Subsequently police arrested Gopal Singh, who disclosed that earlier when he had visited Rajkot and stayed with Jhala, they had a fight while consuming liquor. Since then he bore a grudge and on coming to know of the intended plan of Jhala, Gopal Singh decided to take revenge.
On the pretext of making available a pistol to Jhala, the victim was taken to Gomti river where he was shot and the body was dumped in the river. Gopal Singh admitted that he shot him on February 22 hours after Jhala had called up his family.
Jhala's family members identified his body from the clothes and Rudraksh mala he was wearing, as most of the parts of his body were eaten by animals. Mathura superintendent of police Prashant Kumar said that a DNA test will be done to identify the body.
