# History-sheeter hacked to death in Jaipur, axe stuck in skull 2026-11-11T19:18:07+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 4 independent outlets A history-sheeter, Vijay Bajiya (25), was hacked to death in Jaipur's Kardhani area on Wednesday, 11 November 2026, after assailants rammed their camper into his Toyota Fortuner. Police said four to six men intercepted Bajiya, a resident of Jobner, around 8 pm in Jagdamba Nagar. He tried to flee into colony lanes but was surrounded and attacked with axes, iron rods and sticks. The attack lasted about five minutes. A video from the spot showed an axe stuck in the victim's skull. DCP (West) Prashant Kiran said the attackers had been following Bajiya for several days over an ongoing rivalry linked to a criminal case. The men fled in the camper. Police set up checkpoints across Jaipur and launched a search operation to trace the accused. The body was taken to Kanwatiya Hospital. Investigators said they are examining CCTV footage and working to identify the suspects. Further details are expected as the inquiry continues. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All four sources report the same facts from police briefings, with near-identical details about the time, location, weapon and motive. NDTV, India TV, Times of India and Rediff all lead with the victim's criminal record and the gruesome image of an axe stuck in the skull, and none adds any independent reporting, critical framing or questioning of the police account. The coverage is uniform wire-style reporting, relying entirely on DCP Prashant Kiran's statement and the widely circulated video. The only difference is Rediff's mention of Bajiya's age (25), which the other outlets omit. The consistent framing across outlets leaves no divergence to analyse, the story is presented as a straightforward crime report with no editorial slant. ## Coverage Coverage: 4 sources, 4 neutral - ndtv.com (neutral report) Straight crime report, no editorialising. - indiatvnews.com (neutral report) Wire-style reporting, relies entirely on police statement. - timesofindia.indiatimes.com (neutral report) Police-led account, no independent questioning. - rediff.com (neutral report) PTI wire copy, neutral factual tone.
