New Delhi:
Four people were arrested Monday in connection with the murder of
BSP leader and realtor Deepak Bhardwaj here last week, police
said.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Chhaya Sharma said four
people had been arrested for their involvement in the murder.
The arrested are Rakesh alias Bhola, the owner of the Skoda car
used in the murder and shooters Sunil Mann alias Sonu, Purushottam
Rana alias Monu. The fourth arrested is Amit, who was driving the
car at the time of the murder.
Amit was arrested Sunday from northwest Delhi's Jahangirpuri area
while Rakesh had been detained Friday after the recovery of the
car from his possession.
The car had a fake registration number.
"An investigation is on. It is too early to say what was the
motive for the murder. We cannot reveal who was the main
conspirator behind the incident," Sharma said.
She added that police are yet to ascertain the involvement of
Bhardwaj's family or any relative in the murder.
The Crime Branch of Delhi Police got a tip-off that both the
shooters - Sunil and Purushottam - were to surrender in Patiala
House Court here.
Police sources said Purushottam was apprehended from outside
Patiala House Court complex Monday morning but Sunil managed to
evade the police and entered Metropolitan Magistrate Prashant
Sharma's court room to surrender.
However, the judge refused to hear the matter and handed him over
to the Crime Branch police.
As police took Sunil outside the courtroom, a ruckus was created
by people accompanying him.
Both the shooters were later handed over to South Delhi police,
who are investigating the case. Sources said police had issued
Look Out Circulars (LOC) to nab the alleged shooters.
Police have questioned Bhardwaj's wife Ramesh Kumari, their sons
and staff over the past few days.
Investigators are also looking into the role of an insider who
might have tipped off the killers about the movement of Bhardwaj
and the topography of the farmhouse.
Bhardwaj, a realtor and the richest candidate in the 2009 Lok
Sabha elections with declared assets of over Rs.600 crore, was
shot dead March 26 around 9 a.m. at his 35-acre farmhouse in
Rajokri in south Delhi.
The killers entered the farmhouse on the pretext of meeting
Bhardwaj. He was shot in the head and chest.
