JAMUL police, in coordination with the Bhilai Municipal Corporation (BMC), demolished the unauthorised extended construction at the shop of the prime accused in the Bhilai firing case. Police said that the action was the part of intensified measures to curb heinous crime and ensure all due legal steps against offenders involved in grave offences.

 

On Wednesday morning, the Jamul police team, assisted by the AD squad and BMC’s demolition unit, reached the spot. A JCB was deployed to pull down the illegal extensions raised by accused Karan Sao (27), resident of Baikunthdham, Chhawni, Bhilai.

 

He was the prime accused in the firing case of Bhilai and is in jail on judicial remand. The demolition proceeded smoothly, without major resistance. It may be recalled that on the evening of November 14, 2025, around 6:30 pm, an attempt was made on the life of Vikas Prajapati (26), resident of Camp-02, Bhilai, when shots were fired at him in the Kailash Nagar weekly market.

 

A case under Section 109(1) BNS was registered at Jamul Police Station, leading to the arrest of nine accused in the case. It was revealed in the probe that Karan Sao allegedly hired contract killers from Jharkhand and provided them shelter at his warehouse to execute the attack.

 

He reportedly paid Rs 55,000 for procuring the pistol and ammunition. A 7.65 mm pistol and cartridges were recovered during the probe.
