Jaipur police on Thursday arrested four men in connection with the fatal daylight ambush of 25-year-old history-sheeter Vijay Chaudhary, who was rammed off the road and struck down with an axe in the Kardhani area.
The blood feud had brewed for seven years.
Investigators established that prime accused Anish Golya, 21, orchestrated the hit to retaliate for the 2019 killing of his father, Kailash Golya. Chaudhary, known locally as Vijay Bajiya, had been named as an alleged perpetrator in that earlier homicide. Tension flared anew on Wednesday afternoon when the two men clashed in a heated verbal confrontation, prompting Golya to purchase an axe hours later and mobilize three associates from Jobner to execute an ambush.
Chaudhary was driving his Toyota Fortuner through Jagdamba Nagar on Wednesday night when the assailants intercepted him in a camper truck. The confrontation turned violent within seconds.
The camper rammed Chaudhary's SUV at high speed, crippling the vehicle and smashing its bodywork. Trapped and outmaneuvered, Chaudhary scrambled out of the damaged cabin and sprinted across the street to escape. The four pursuers cornered him within yards, striking him repeatedly with the newly purchased axe before fleeing the scene in their vehicle. Chaudhary died at the spot from severe physical trauma.
Anish Golya planned the attack to avenge his father's murder and purchased the weapon a day in advance before ambushing the vehicle.

Officers from the Kardhani police station tracked the four suspects to a nearby local hideout within hours of the crime, confirmed Station House Officer Sawai Singh. Police identified the co-accused as Kamlesh Golya alias Kamal, 23, Yuvraj Chaudhary, 23, and Dinesh Chaudhary alias Deenu, 23. All four suspects reside in Jobner.
Chaudhary, a native of Tibariyan village in Jobner, had operated out of a rented flat in Jaipur's Kalwar locality while managing local real estate transactions. He was a registered history-sheeter at the Jobner police station, carrying multiple criminal charges that included two prior murder cases. Police records indicate he had survived three to four earlier attempts on his life during the multi-year cycle of retaliation between the rival factions.
