A political leader on condition of anonymity claimed that as much as Rs 30,000/- was offered to hush-up or not to register the names of two accused from Katol.
Sources claimed that the restaurant situated on the road named Bikaner Restaurant has as many as twenty personnel working in his restaurant. No one knows why he needs so many personnel to work in a restaurant.
Sources also claimed that the owner of Bikaner Restaurant Ashok Rajpurohit procures railway tickets almost every second or third day to send some workers of his restaurant to Jaipur or New Delhi or some other place. Sources further revealed that he dispatches drugs, Ganja (Cannabis aka Marijuana) to different places including Delhi or Jaipur hidden in the bags of labourers or workers since nobody will suspect them to be carriers. Both the brothers can often be seen in the railway station reserving tickets for their workers.
Both the brothers are said to be involved in betting on cricket matches, and are said to be involved in gambling too. Since this is a big racket, there are many settings undertaken to hush-up the matter. Even as cops are trying to piece in the jigsaw puzzle, the goons are trying to cover up the leads.
