On September 5, 2011, Raju Pargai and Amit Arya were killed at the Nepal border of Uttarakhand. The Uttarakhand police arrested Lucky Bisht in connection with the killings.
Victims
Pargai and Arya had a history of criminal involvement, including murder, kidnapping, and extortion. They had been incarcerated multiple times in connection with various murder cases. Intelligence reports suggested that they might have been involved in the illegal arms trade, playing a significant role in facilitating the transportation of weapons from Nepal into India.
Aftermath
Following his arrest, Bisht spent over four years in jail, during which he was transferred to 11 different jails. However, during the course of the legal proceedings, Lucky Bisht was eventually acquitted by the court.
Despite the accusation and arrest of Bisht, there was not enough evidence to convict him in the murder case, leading to his eventual acquittal.
