Chandigarh, November 30

Former scribe Sanjeev Mahajan will be brought on a production warrant by the Chandigarh Police on December 7.

Mahajan, who is lodged at the Burail jail in a property grab case, was booked by the police on November 23 for allegedly threatening a witness in a murder case.

Complainant Rohit Kumar, a resident of Mohali district, had reported that a person who introduced himself as Sanjeev Mahajan allegedly called him from a mobile phone and asked him not to depose before the court against one of the murder suspects, Vikas. Rohit is also a witness in the case.

The police said Mahajan was taken to the court for a hearing on November 22, when he borrowed a mobile phone from a Sector 37 resident and made a call to the witness. “We will probe Mahajan’s links with the murder suspect, who is a member of the Boxer gang,” said a police official. “On September 4, 2019, victim Tejinder Singh, alias Malli, was shot dead while his friend was injured after four assailants opened fire on them in broad daylight at a car parking in Sector 17 in Chandigarh. Around two weeks later, the UT police had arrested three members of the Boxer gang, including the leader of the gang, Vikas, alias Boxer. A case has been registered against Mahajan under Sections 195 A, 506 and 120-B of the Indian Penal Code at the Sector 17 police station.
