The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) apprehended Paras Ram, also known as Raju Sharma, a proclaimed offender who had evaded capture for over 16 years in a high-profile double murder case in Rajasthan. The case, initiated on April 6, 2011, against six accused, stemmed from a tragic incident on July 29, 2010, in Kaman town, Rajasthan. During the event, the accused intruded into a residence and unleashed gunfire with country-made weapons, resulting in the deaths of a father and son, relatives of the then Additional Sessions Judge, with two others sustaining severe injuries.
Paras Ram absconded shortly after the case’s filing and was subsequently declared a proclaimed offender by the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Special Police Establishment Court in Jaipur. A reward of Rs 5 lakh was offered for information leading to his arrest, and legal proceedings against him were halted during his period of evasion. After years of investigation, the CBI obtained credible intelligence that Paras Ram had assumed a new identity as “Raju Sharma” and was residing in New Delhi. Acting on this information, the CBI apprehended him on March 5, 2026, executing a standing warrant issued by the court.
Following his arrest, Paras Ram was presented before the court and granted three days of police custody for further inquiry. The CBI is actively pursuing the case, amassing evidence against all involved accused. The detention of Paras Ram signifies a significant breakthrough in a long-pending case, showcasing the CBI’s unwavering dedication to bringing fugitive criminals to justice.
