Police are also investigating whether others were involved in facilitating Kamra’s overseas trip.
A murder convict serving a life sentence at an open prison in Rajasthan’s Sri Ganganagar district allegedly travelled to Thailand for five days last year, with the help of a prison warder who manipulated his attendance records.
“The jail authorities have suspended warder Hapuram for his alleged involvement in the conspiracy and have submitted a written complaint to the police. Following the complaint, prison authorities initiated an inquiry into Kamra’s activities and movements. The vehicle was registered in the name of Kamra’s brother. Police registered a case under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and arrested Kamra in connection with the recovery. More than eight years after the murder, Kamra is once again facing a police investigation. This time, the focus is on how he allegedly travelled abroad while serving his sentence and how prison records continued to show him present during his absence.
On November 3, Jawahar Nagar police recovered around 40 grams of opium and a passport bearing Kamra’s name from a car during a police check in the area. Kamra’s passport was issued in 2016 but was not seized when he was arrested in 2018. Its details were also reportedly not obtained after his conviction in 2023. Seth was in a relationship with Kamra, who was reportedly facing debts of around ₹ 21 lakh.
The police will investigate the matter further,” Sharma said. The two allegedly planned to kidnap Sharma and demand a ransom to settle the debt, according to the police investigation. Ghamudwali police station SHO Satveer Meena told HT, “We registered a case on Saturday evening against a prisoner, identified as Dikshant Kamra, on the complaint of jail superintendent Mahaveer Prasad Meena.
Kamra is serving a life sentence for the murder of 28-year-old Dushyant Sharma, a case that came to be known as the Jaipur Tinder murder case.
