Overview
- Local police said a large section of the ancestral home in Loonkaransar was demolished overnight, and officers received information about the damage on Tuesday morning.
- Investigators reported that an earthmover or JCB appears to have been used and that no family members were present when the structure was brought down.
- Police are collecting CCTV footage and other on-site evidence to identify the perpetrators, but officials said no formal complaint had been filed at the time of reporting.
- Godara’s parents and brother remain in judicial custody on separate extortion cases, and police say Rohit Godara is evading arrest and is believed to be in Azerbaijan after a US DOJ designation.
- The demolition comes after a multinational law-enforcement operation that tied Godara to the Lawrence Bishnoi network and could complicate evidence-gathering and local legal proceedings.
