BJP leader’s kin want CBI probe

It’s been over a week since a local BJP leader, Shiv Kumar  and his security guard and driver, were shot dead in Greater Noida’s Bisrakh area but the police remain clueless as to the whereabouts of the main accused in the crime.  

Senior police officials say that they have formed several teams to search for the main accused and have sent several teams to Western UP for the same.

“We have formed several teams which are working to arrest the shooters involved in the case. With the recent arrest of some criminals, we have found most that they hail from Western UP so we have sent several teams to nab the shooters and the main accused from there,” said Suniti, Superintendent of Police (Rural), Gautam Budh Nagar.

Police say a case has been registered against Sundar Yadav, Charan Yadav, Devender Yadav and Satyendra Yadav. Six unidentified persons have been named in the FIR. “We have detained 8-10 people. The family has named them as they had disputes with them. We are in the process of questioning them,” Suniti added.
