JAIPUR: He allegedly shot dead his girlfriend’ s ex-boyfriend. She then ran over a car on the body several times to make it look like an accident. It took police seven days to crack the case. They arrested the girl three days ago but he managed to give police the slip.

Now Deepak Kumar Malik has thrown a challenge to the Ganganagar police to “catch me if you can”. The 24-year-old, who claims to bean engineerin­g graduate, has also warned “2-3 constables” who allegedly “misbehaved with the love of my life” saying they will face consequenc­es.

And this he has done by making updates on social networking site Facebook, where he also ‘confessed” to the crime. The last update was on August 9. This, even as police have formed four teams to track and nab him.

“Catch me if you can Ganganagar police… I give you six months… I dare you to even touch me… this is an open challenge... Warn those 2-3 policemen who misbehaved with the love of my life… they will have to pay for it,” reads Mali k’ s post. The“love of his life”, Indubala, is in police custody after being arrested on charges of killing her former boyfriend Vinod Beniwal on July 31.

“A badly maimed body was found in S rig an ga na ga ra few days ago. It was later identified as that of Vi nod Beniw al, a resident of Ha ryan a. During investigat­ion we came to know about the involvemen­t of Malik and Indubala in the case,” said Tulsidas Purohit, circle officer, Srigangana­gar.

Indubala wanted to get rid of Beniwal, police said, adding this was the reason why Malik shot him dead. “Indubala invited Beniwal to her house where he was offered alcohol. She then drove an inebriated Beniwal to a deserted area where Malik shot him in the head” said Purohit.
