It is worth noting that the post of Himanshu Bhau, which is going viral and taking responsibility for the Burger King murder case, also has the name of Ajit alias Kalia.
Kalia was arrested a few days ago by the Special Cell of Delhi Police from Goa in the Fusion car showroom firing case. Kalia used to provide logistics to the shooters on the instructions of Himanshu Bhau.
According to Delhi Police, Ajit alias Kalia had provided weapons and information to the shooters who fired at the Fusion car showroom. The police also suspect that Kalia might have ordered these shooters to commit the crime at Burger King.
Sources from the Delhi Police also mentioned that it is important to question Kalia because he recruits fresh members into Himanshu Bhau's gang on his instructions and also provides them with logistics to commit crimes. (ANI)
