Jaipur police commissioner transferred Bajaj Nagar SHO Ram Dhan on Friday, 2 October 2026, a day after a Rs 2.5 crore watch showroom burglary and amid protests over the death of a man in a hotel.
Prem Prakash Khichi, 32, a nursing student, was found dead in a hotel near Gandhi Nagar railway station on Wednesday, 30 September. Police recovered a suicide note and a cannula in his hand. His family alleges murder and has blocked Tonk Road demanding arrests and compensation. Police say they are investigating the circumstances.
The SHO was moved on administrative grounds related to performance, police said.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both sources present uniform straight news reporting. Times of India leads with the SHO transfer and lists the heist and protest as context. Rediff leads with the protest and the family's allegations, then details police findings. Neither outlet questions the police version or endorses the family's claim. The key fact both agree on is that the police recovered a suicide note and a cannula, and that the family disputes suicide. The investigation is ongoing, with no arrests or closure announced.
