Criminal on the run found filming biopic

JAIPUR: For the last 10 months the Rajasthan police have been doggedly pursuing dreaded criminal Vishram Choudhary, but with little success.

Now, it appears that Choudhary has been ‘multitasking’ while evading arrest — he has been busy shooting for his biopic titled “Ek Tha Gangster”.

A known troublemaker, Choudhary is a history-sheeter of Gandhi Nagar police station in Ajmer district and wanted in several cases such as assault and threatening people.

A video uploaded on You Tube on March 17 claims to be a song from the upcoming biopic, which he says is ‘coming soon’.

The song, titled “Choro Mohanpura Ko” (Boy from Mohanpura) is sung by a singer named Praveen Kumar Jat, who uploaded the video on YouTube. Mewadi Brothers composed the music, it says.

When HT contacted Nitin Deep Blaggan, superintendent of police, Ajmer, he said efforts would be made to track down the person who uploaded the video.

“We are currently investigating the matter and will also be trying to track the person who uploaded the video through the help of IP address and other technical means. Choudhary is absconding since several months and we are searching for him,” Blaggan said.

The song in Rajasthani language says Choudhary is pride of the Jat community and glorifies his ‘achievements’.

“Nowadays, it has become very easy for people to access social media and post photos and videos. We will be investigating the matter to see whether this video helps us to trace him,” said Yogendra Rathore, station house officer, Madanganj police station, Ajmer.

Choudhary has been absconding since June last year when he and some associates assaulted four men in Madangaj area of Ajmer.

He had earlier been arrested and jailed for various offences such as opening fire on the police and beating up people.

The video along with the poster of Choudhary’s ‘biopic’ have gone viral on the social media and is being widely circulated on WhatsApp groups in Ajmer district.
