Based on the complaint, FIR No. 101/25, under Section 103 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), was registered at Rajpur police station.
Given the seriousness of the incident, a police team was formed at Rajpur police station, following instructions from the Senior Superintendent of Police, Dehradun, to uncover it. Using mobile surveillance, CCTV cameras, and informants, the police team gathered information about the accused involved. They learned of the involvement of Muzaffarnagar’s notorious criminal, Rajan alias Jackie on which, the police team collected information regarding the suspected accused and on 19 May 2026, the suspected accused Rajan alias Jackie was taken into custody from Khalapar district Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh and brought to Rajpur police station for interrogation. On strict interrogation, the accused Rajan alias Jackie admitted to killing Ajay Bhateja by strangulating him with a pillow on 26 May 2025. On which, sections 61(2) and 238 BNS were added to the said case and the accused Rajan alias Jackie was arrested.
During interrogation, the accused stated that he had known the deceased Ajay Bateja and his stepbrother Amit Bateja for several years. The deceased Ajay Bateja was an alcoholic and owned several properties in Dehradun and Mussoorie. On May 23, 2025, Amit Bateja took the accused, along with his stepbrother Ajay Bateja and two other women, to see Ajay Bateja’s carte blanche in Mussoorie. During this, Amit Bateja told the accused that his father’s money was also invested in Ajay Bateja’s properties.
He had asked Ajay Bateja several times to give him some share of his property but instead of giving him any share in the property, he was squandering all the money on debauchery. During this, Amit Bateja offered the accused to eliminate Ajay Bateja and in return give him half of the property located in Jakhan and not let the accused’s name come up in the firing incident that took place in Nakud Saharanpur, in which the accused was involved, on which the accused agreed to kill Ajay Bateja.
To carry out the crime, on May 25th, the accused, along with his girlfriend Humera alias Zoya, met with Amit Bateja in Saharanpur, where they hatched a plan to murder Ajay Bateja. Subsequently, the accused, along with his girlfriend, Amit Bateja, and another accomplice, Neeraj, who had no knowledge of the plot, traveled to Dehradun on the pretext of visiting another friend, Akshay, who had been shot in Saharanpur and was undergoing treatment at Max Hospital. The four stayed overnight at Ajay Bateja’s house in Jakhan.
As per the plan, the accused left his girlfriend Zoya alias Umera with Ajay Bateja and himself went with his other friends to buy liquor from the liquor shop located on Mussoorie Road, where they drank liquor while sitting in the car and at around 01.00 in the night, as per the plan, the accused alone reached Ajay Bateja’s house and Amit Bateja, on some pretext, took the accused’s friend Neeraj with him in the car from outside the house.
After entering the house, the accused, taking the help of Zoya, deliberately made Ajay Bateja drink a lot of alcohol and when he got the chance, he covered his mouth with a pillow. Due to intoxication, the deceased Ajay Bateja could not struggle and died on the spot. After the incident, the accused tried to hang Ajay Bateja from the fan so that he could make the murder look like a suicide, but in his hurry he could not hang him from the fan.
During this time, his eyes fell on the CCTV camera installed outside the room. Fearing arrest, the accused removed the DVR of the CCTV camera and took it with him. After the incident, the accused reached ISBT with his girlfriend via auto and from there boarded a bus to Saharanpur.
