A case has been registered against Rajesh Gangwani, a resident of Annapurna area of the city on the complaint of Navin Khangwal, a resident of Omaxe City.
Khanagwal informed the police that he is employed as a security guard at businessman RC Mittal’s bungalow in New Palasia. On Thursday, he was at the main gate when a person named Rajesh Gangwani, a resident of Annapurna area came there and told him that he was called by Mittal.
When Khanagwal informed him that Mittal was not at home, he left the place after an argument.
