Former cop found running gang from prison:Inputs say witnesses were being threatened, shifted from Guna to Rewa jail; was absconding for 3 years

Notorious criminal Ramveer Singh Kushwaha, alias ‘Daau’, who had been running his gang from inside Guna’s Chachauda Jail, is now being shifted to Rewa Central Jail.
Intelligence inputs revealed that he was threatening witnesses, complainants, and lawyers in the ongoing cases. Acting on these reports, the Bhopal Jail Headquarters ordered his immediate transfer to prevent any interference in the investigations. Ran a gang operation from jail; witnesses threatened According to intelligence sources, despite being lodged in Chachauda Jail, accused Ramveer was exerting pressure on victims, witnesses, and lawyers involved in the cases against him.
On December 4, his associates reportedly reached Narahat village in Lalitpur (UP) where they pressured the family of truck driver Makhan Kushwaha to compromise in the 2015 murder case. Driver found burnt near police outpost in 2015 The murder case dates back to June 2015, when Ramveer — serving as a police station in-charge at the time — allegedly stopped Makhan’s truck for illegal extortion.
He and his associates forcibly took money from Makhan, detained him for two days, and assaulted him.
On the night of June 20–21, Makhan was found burnt to death near the Ruthiayai police outpost.
Ramveer’s bail plea in this case has already been rejected by the High Court. One lakh reward; absconded for three years Ramveer, who disgraced his police uniform by committing grave crimes, faces 7 major criminal cases across three police stations in Guna district. These include: In the high-profile Atmaram murder case, he remained absconding for three years, and a Rs 1 lakh reward was declared on his arrest. After securing anticipatory bail in one case and returning to Guna, his associates reportedly celebrated, but police arrested him at his home due to his involvement in other pending cases. Benami properties worth crores A CID investigation revealed that although Ramveer lived a lavish lifestyle — keeping expensive dogs and hiring private guards — no significant property was registered in his name.
However, he had bought crores worth of houses, vehicles, farms in Soni Colony (Guna) and Rannod (Shivpuri) in the names of family members and trusted associates. SP: Transfer necessary to protect evidence According to the Guna SP Ankit Soni, Ramveer Kushwaha has lived here for long. To ensure that our investigation and evidence are not compromised, the Jail Headquarters decided to shift him to Rewa Jail. Police have also prepared a list of his associates and protectors, who are now under continuous surveillance.
