BHARAT Mangnani, accused of allegedly killing Paramjit Rangani by running him over with a car, surrendered before a court on August 18 following sustained police efforts to apprehend him. According to Amanaka police, a complaint was lodged at the police station on August 14 alleging that Paramjit Rangani had been intentionally run over and killed by Mangnani. The incident reportedly occurred amid marriage discussions between Paramjit Rangani and Shikha Sahu. On August 14, Shikha Sahu reached Tatibandh in a white Volkswagen accompanied by her friend Bharat Mangnani. She met Paramjit near a gurdwara, where Mangnani was also present. Police said an argument broke out between Mangnani and Paramjit during their interaction. The complainant alleged that Mangnani, in a fit of anger and with the intention of killing Paramjit, drove the car at high speed and ran him over.

 

Paramjit suffered serious injuries and heavy bleeding. Bystanders rushed him to a hospital, where doctors declared him dead. Mangnani allegedly fled the spot in the white Volkswagen following the incident. Based on the complaint, Amanaka police registered Crime No 264/2026 under Section 103 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and launched an investigation. Police said teams had been conducting continuous raids at the accused’s suspected hideouts and using technical surveillance and other methods to trace him. Following the sustained search operation and mounting police pressure, Mangnani surrendered before the court on August 18. He was formally arrested and produced before the court, which granted police remand. Police are questioning the accused in detail to establish the circumstances surrounding the death and are taking further legal action based on the evidence collected during the investigation.
