Ghaziabad Bloodbath: Ravi Sharma Gunned Down at Police Station Gate—Cops Filmed the Murder, Killers Roam Free

On a humid Wednesday night in Ghaziabad, the unthinkable happened. The very place meant to symbolize safety and justice—the gate of Muradnagar Police Station—became the scene of a cold-blooded murder. Ravi Sharma, a 35-year-old businessman and beloved son of Rawli village, was shot dead in a hail of bullets, his blood pooling on the ground just steps from the police officers who should have protected him.

The killers, known criminals Ajay Chaudhary and Monty, vanished into the darkness. The city of Ghaziabad woke up to fear, fury, and a burning question: If a man can be murdered at the police station gate, is anyone safe anymore?

A Night of Terror

It was just after 10 p.m. on June 18, 2025, when Ravi Sharma’s life was brutally ended. The events that led to his death began earlier that evening, with a seemingly trivial dispute over car parking on the busy Delhi-Meerut road. But in Ghaziabad, even the smallest altercations can spiral into deadly violence.

Ravi, an honest trader with a fertilizer shop in Rawli, was driving home with his family. When he stopped to help his niece into the car, he encountered Ajay and Monty, two notorious local thugs. Their car blocked the road. Words were exchanged, tempers flared, and the two men sped away, hurling abuses.

But it didn’t end there.

At 8:30 p.m., as Ravi sat at home with his family, gunshots shattered the evening calm. Monty and Ajay had returned, this time with pistols. Bullets ripped through the gate of Ravi’s home, leaving gaping holes and terror in their wake. Ravi’s young son pointed out the bullet marks, his small voice trembling with fear.

Shaken but determined, Ravi called the police emergency number 112. Officers arrived, took down his statement, and asked him to come to the station to file a formal complaint. Ravi, trusting the system, agreed.

He never imagined he was walking into a trap.

Murder at the Gates of Justice

Ravi and his younger brother Vikas arrived at Muradnagar police station late that night. The air was thick with tension. Unbeknownst to them, Ajay and Monty were already waiting outside, lurking in the shadows.

As Ravi approached the gate, the killers pounced. They drew their pistols and fired four shots at point-blank range. Ravi collapsed, blood pouring from his wounds. His brother Vikas, acting on instinct, sprinted towards the nearby bridge, barely escaping with his life.

Inside the station, officers heard the gunfire. But instead of rushing out to save Ravi or apprehend the shooters, eyewitnesses say some police personnel pulled out their phones and began filming the chaos.

The killers melted away into the darkness, leaving behind a scene of horror and disbelief.

“Cops Filmed, Didn’t Fight”: The Family’s Heartbreak

For Ravi’s family, the pain is unbearable. His father, Ravindra Sharma, a respected shopkeeper in Rawli, recounts the nightmare with tears streaming down his face.

“My son went to the police for help. He trusted them. But when the bullets flew, the police just stood there, making videos. They did nothing. My son died in front of their eyes!”

Vikas, who narrowly escaped death, is haunted by guilt and grief. “I told the police about the attackers. I begged them to act. But they did nothing. If they had listened, my brother would be alive.”

The family’s anguish is echoed by the entire village. Neighbors, friends, and relatives gathered at the Sharma home, their faces etched with shock and fear. “If a man can be killed at the police station gate, what hope is there for the rest of us?” one neighbor asks, his voice shaking.

The Killers: Notorious and Unafraid

Ajay Chaudhary and Monty were no strangers to the law. Ajay had recently been released from jail after being charged under the POCSO Act for allegedly raping a minor girl. Monty, too, had a string of criminal cases against him.

Despite their criminal histories, both men moved freely through the village, intimidating locals with impunity. The villagers whisper about their connections, their arrogance, and the fear they inspire.

On the night of the murder, they acted with chilling precision and confidence. They waited for Ravi, ambushed him in front of the police, and vanished before anyone could react.

Law and Order in Question

The murder of Ravi Sharma has sparked outrage across Ghaziabad and beyond. Social media erupted with anger as videos and eyewitness accounts circulated, showing police officers filming the aftermath instead of pursuing the killers.

Local residents staged massive protests outside Muradnagar police station, demanding justice and the suspension of all officers on duty that night. “If the police can’t protect us at their own gate, what is the point of the law?” shouted Anshu Kaushik, a family friend.

The mood in the city is one of fear and fury. Shops closed early, parents kept their children indoors, and rumors of further violence spread like wildfire. The sense of safety that once defined the community has been shattered.

The Police Response: Promises and Protests

Under immense public pressure, Ghaziabad police registered a murder case against Ajay Chaudhary and Monty. Three special teams were formed to hunt them down. Senior officers, including DCP Ravishankar Nim, appeared before the media, promising swift action.

But for many, these assurances ring hollow. “We have heard these promises before,” says a local activist. “But the criminals are still free, and the police who failed Ravi are still in uniform.”

The family’s demand is clear: “Suspend the entire Muradnagar police station. Only then will we get justice.”

A City in Mourning

Ravi Sharma’s funeral was a scene of heartbreak and anger. Hundreds gathered to pay their respects, their faces grim and tear-stained. His mother fainted from grief. His wife, inconsolable, clung to their children, who still do not understand why their father will never come home.

The village of Rawli is united in mourning—and in fear. “We have lost not just a son, but our faith in the system,” says a village elder. “If this can happen to Ravi, it can happen to any of us.”

The Aftermath: Trauma and Lost Innocence

The impact of Ravi’s murder goes far beyond one family. Children wake up screaming from nightmares. Women are afraid to step out after dark. Men whisper about arming themselves for protection.

The trauma is deep and lasting. Ravi’s young son, who saw the bullet holes in their gate, now asks his mother, “Will the bad men come back?” His wife’s silence speaks volumes—she has no answers.

Unanswered Questions

As the investigation drags on, the people of Ghaziabad are left with troubling questions:

Why did the police fail to act despite repeated warnings about the attackers?
Why were officers filming instead of intervening?
How did notorious criminals like Ajay and Monty continue to roam free?
What will it take for justice to be served—not just for Ravi, but for every citizen?

A Call for Change

The murder of Ravi Sharma has become a rallying cry for change. Politicians, activists, and ordinary citizens are demanding accountability, transparency, and reform.

“We want justice for Ravi. We want safety for our families. We want a police force that protects, not one that films,” says Vikas Sharma.

The pressure is mounting. The government has promised a thorough inquiry, and the role of the Muradnagar police station is under investigation. But for Ravi’s family, no inquiry can bring back what they have lost.

Will Justice Prevail?

As Ghaziabad mourns, the hunt for Ajay and Monty continues. Police teams raid hideouts, question informants, and comb through CCTV footage. But the killers remain at large, their capture a test of the system’s resolve.

For now, the Sharma family waits, their grief mixed with hope and anger. “We will not rest until my brother’s killers are behind bars,” vows Vikas.

A City’s Nightmare

The murder of Ravi Sharma is more than a crime—it is a warning. A warning that lawlessness, if left unchecked, can strike anywhere, even at the gates of justice. It is a call to action for every citizen, every officer, every leader.

As the sun sets over Ghaziabad, the city is left with scars that may never heal. But in the darkness, there is a flicker of hope—a hope that out of tragedy will come change, and that Ravi Sharma’s death will not be in vain.
