Updated: 2022-01-24

INDORE: Two persons set two houses and a vehicle on fire in Ganesh Talai area of Khandwa district, the police said on Sunday. The accused were identified as Deepak Upadhya alias Bunty, a notorious criminal of the area and his accomplice Rinku.

The police said that the duo were allegedly drunk when they set the structures on fire on the intervening night of Friday and Saturday.

A tin shed belonging to Shaukat Ali was gutted along with his household items. His family was away at the time of the incident. A boundary wall and front portion of another house that belonged to Chandrakanta was also damaged in the fire.

The fire was noticed by their neighbours who alerted the families. The accused also beat members of both the families, who had objected to their actions, and threatened them of dire consequences if they did not vacate the houses. The accused duo then broke into a temple in the same area and damaged glass panes, and before fleeing from there, set an auto rickshaw on fire, the police officials said.

In a complaint to the police, the affected families alleged that the accused threatened them to vacate their houses as they wanted to build godowns there. They demanded compensation for their losses by seizing properties of the accused.

The police said that a case under sections 295, 436 and other relevant sections of IPC has been registered against the accused. The main accused, Bunty, is on the run, while the other one has been arrested.

“The main accused is a habitual offender, and he was arrested and jailed in the past for carrying arms and gambling among other crimes of serious nature,” Khandwa SP Vivek Singh told TOI.
