According to police reports, Kana’s vengeance knew no bounds. He allegedly set Ranjan’s house ablaze on the intervening night of August 31 and September 1, leaving Ranjan with severe burn injuries.

“The accused, Kana, has a criminal history encompassing multiple cases, including a robbery-cum-murder case in Sarita Vihar,” informed Deputy Commissioner of Police (crime) Rakesh Paweriya. “Upon his release on bail in 2023, he discovered his wife living with Ranjan. This revelation ignited a fire for revenge, prompting him to set Ranjan’s house on fire,” DCP Paweriya added.

Acting on a tip-off regarding Kana’s movements and his tendency to carry a loaded pistol, a police team apprehended him from Jaitpur Kalindi Kunj Road while riding a stolen motorcycle.

“He attempted to resist arrest, but our team overpowered him and recovered a loaded pistol along with five cartridges from his possession,” DCP Paweriya said.
