The 2022 death of a BJP leader has been linked to a gangster
Kripal Jagheena was murdered on September 4th, 2017 in Bharatpur purportedly due to a land dispute involving Jagheena and Vijaypal.
BJP leader Kripal Jaghina was shot dead on September 4 last year by mobster Kuldeep Jaghina and four others. Then, on their way to Goa from Kolhapur, Maharashtra, he and his companions were apprehended.
BJP politician Kripal Singh was murdered by Kuldeep Jaghina over a piece of land in the city’s Sheesham Tiraha Kali Garden.
Multiple police teams were organized to investigate the murder, and within 48 hours, they had apprehended all the suspects.
An oversized parcel of land on Kali Bagichi Road in Bharatpur City was the subject of contention, as revealed by the investigation. Kuldeep Singh planned to take possession of the land and force the individuals who had ties to it off of it because of its immense monetary value.
