He used to befriend the migrant workers from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, entangle them on the pretext of getting them jobs, and then commit murder. Shekhar and Umesh were murdered in 2003, Guddu in 2005, Amit in 2006 and Upendra and Dilip in 2007.

Delhi Police, which was searching for this dangerous criminal for a long time, considers the arrest of Chandrakant Jha as a big success. Chandrakant Jha's cruel act has challenged the police.
