Intensive search by 150 jawans to nab Jagjivan

Bhind,MP, June 25 (UNI) An intensive search was carried out today in Chambal ravines by 150 police jawans to track down notorious dacoit Jagjivan Parihar, who carries a reward of Rs 1.25 lakh on his head, but no breakthrough was achieved.

On a tip-off, Superintendent of Police Rajababu immediately dispatched 150 jawans, who searched Redoli, Ramta, Malpura, Jamora, Kharaka, Khadik, Janaura, Soi and other ravines in the Chambal valley.
