Pandya had fired the bullet which killed Prajapati in December 2006.[1] The discussion about the case described that Pandya managed the logistics or led the encounter with Prajapati.[1][2] In the legal statements witnesses reported that Pandya had discussed the case privately with DIG D. G. Vanzara, a senior police officer who was also a party to the case.[2]
When Pandya was sought for arrest he avoided police capture.[1] The Criminal Investigation Department declared that Pandya had absconded.[1] On 13 May 2010 he turned himself in to the police.[1]
In 2012 Pandya played the role of approver to the court by accusing other people in the case of faults.[3] The court noted this in 2015 when various people arrested in the case made a request for bail.[3]
In May 2015 after Pandya got bail and left the jail he also got permission to rejoin the police force.[4][5] He got a new post as Circle Inspector of police in Bhuj.[4]
In December 2018 Pandya was one of 22 people discharged from the court proceedings.[6]
