She added that Bhagchand, his son and one Amit Bhanshali, who has affiliation with a political party and owns an automobile showroom in Ajmer, were among the accused.
"Police have arrested Bhagchand's son who is a minor and made him confess to the crime. Other suspects are roaming scot-free. My husband was physically strong. The way he was murdered, it is quite evident that a group of people attacked him. But the police are not investigating the matter further," said Neelam.
