Indore Police arrested Pinki Chouhan and her former boyfriend, Mohsin Khan, for the murder of junior railway engineer Dikshant Pandya. Dikshant’s body was discovered near a lake in Khodna village with four bullet wounds. Investigations revealed that Pinki and Mohsin planned the murder because Dikshant wanted to live together with Pinki in Ratlam, but the latter disagreed.

Pinki had been in a relationship with Mohsin for ten years before getting involved with Dikshant. Two years ago, she distanced herself from Mohsin and started a relationship with Dikshant. However, when Dikshant insisted on living together in Ratlam, Pinki refused.

Her ex-boyfriend re-entered Pinki’s life when she told him about Dikshant ‘troubling’ her. On January 20, when Dikshant forced Pinki to go to Ratlam with him, she refused and took the help of her ex-boyfriend. That night, Pinki and Dikshant went to a secluded spot, where Mohsin, armed with a pistol, approached them and shot Dikshant four times. Pinki then placed Dikshant’s body in a car and drove about 8 kilometres to Khodana-Guradiya Road. The other accused followed on a motorcycle, and they abandoned the car, fleeing on the bike.

The police arrested Mohsin Khan, a resident of Parvaliya, and Pinki, a resident of Dodar, recovering the pistol and bike used in the crime. The burnt clothes worn by the accused during the murder were also found. Khan has a history of criminal activities, with cases registered against him in Sailana, Ringnod, Kalukheda, Ujjain, Pratapgarh, and other areas.
