A day after a local BJP leader was shot dead, police has registered an FIR against ten persons following a complaint by the victim's family.

According to police, the case has been registered against Sundar Yadav, Charan Yadav, Devender Yadav and Satyendra Yadav. Besides, this six unidentified persons have also been included in the FIR.

"We have detained 8-10 people in connection with the murders. We are exploring all the angles in the case. The family has named these people as they had disputes with them earlier also in which Kumar's father and uncle were killed," said Suniti, Superintendent Of Police(Rural), Gautam Buddha Nagar.

The family claimed that there was some personal enmity with Shiv Kumar, the BJP leader, following which the accused had killed him. A Special Task Force has been put in place to investigate the case.

Kumar and his security guard, Balli, were shot dead while his driver, Rashpal, was critically wounded and later succumbed to his injuries, when four men on two motorcycles rained around 40 bullets on their Toyota Fortuner car in Greater Noida's Bisrakh on Thursday.

Meanwhile, family members of the deceased protested by placing his body on the road in Sector 71. They demanded the arrest of the criminals in the morning.

"We do not have anyone to name but we want the arrest of the criminals as soon as possible. He (the deceased) used to discuss everything with me but never told me about any threat to his life. I spoke to him the day before yesterday on the phone and he sounded normal, said Yogesh Yadav, the deceased's brother.

Family members also blocked the road for about half an hour and left only when they were assured of action, police said.

"We have formed teams to nab the criminals and robbed in the special task force to investigate the case. We have assured the family members of quick investigation. We had to make them understand that by protesting on the road they are creating a problem for the police and the commuters," said a senior police officer.

Kumar lived with his wife Neelam (38), daughter Shivani, and three sons Sunny (12), Sachin (8) and Ashu (6) at their Pratap Vihar residence.

According to a senior police officer, Kumar holds a criminal background, due to which he was sent to jail two years ago.

"Kumar and another party had a dispute over a property in their village in which Kumar's father and uncle were killed and later Kumar framed his driver's death because of which he was sent to jail on the charges of murder. Prima facie, it appears to be the same property dispute," the officer said.

ANOTHER VICTIM

A 15-year-old girl, Anjali also died when the car, during the attack, accidentally hit her. The heartbroken family of the teenager studying in class 10, said that she was the only girl in the family and was very pampered. "She aspired to join the Air Force and become a fighter pilot. Her demise has shattered us. We want the culprits behind bars," said Amit Kumar, the girl's uncle.
