Without Police Verification, Mohali Double-Murder Accused Worked as Security Head of Noida RWA
A troubling news report came out. Gaurav Kumar, charged with a double murder, held a key job in a Noida residential group. He did not get a police check.
Background of the Case
Gaurav Kumar killed a well-known journalist and his mother in Mohali in September 2017. The journalist, Karan Jeet Singh, held a top role at The Indian Express in Chandigarh. Kumar shot them after a fight and skipped bail in 2020. In 2022, he became a wanted man. He stayed free until Mohali Police caught him in Noida in November 2025. The police opened a case under murder laws and other charges. They found stolen items that belonged to the journalist. Even with these charges, Kumar held a top job in Noida for over a year.
Employment at Noida RWA Without Background Checks
In May 2024, Kumar worked as a security guard for the Sector 36 RWA in Noida. The Pandey Security Agency sent him to the group. Anita, the leader of the RWA, said the group planned to open all four gates of the community and needed more staff.
The RWA did not check his records with the police. They trusted the agency’s word. Kumar then became the head of security and later the manager. He took charge of everyday duties and community matters. Anita admitted that the group knew nothing of his past until the police called after his arrest.
Community Impact and Concerns
The residents of Sector 36 are mainly older people and retirees. They saw Kumar join and felt that he cared for them. He joined in patrols, cut trees, and cleared trash. His work built trust among the residents.
The incident has made people worry about how security staff are hired. An official from the local police said that checks usually run through the CCTNS. Yet, this check failed in Kumar’s case.
Police Response and Next Steps
After his arrest in Noida, Mohali Police began a closer look. They want to know how someone with such a history kept a major role in community safety. The case makes clear that proper checks in hiring are needed.
This case serves as a lesson to those who hire for protection jobs. It shows the risk when groups trust agency claims without a proper police check.
The incident calls for stronger checks, such as police clearances and criminal record reviews, to keep communities safe in the future.
