Unidentified criminals struck terror in Bareilly when they brutally murdered a senior scientist of the Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI) at his residence late on Wednesday night. The miscreants who tied victim’s old age mother and his domestic maid, also swept costly belongings which puzzled the police whether the case was a simple loot and murder or the belongings were removed to misguide the investigation agencies. What further puzzled the cops is that the circumstantial evidence suggested that the criminals were known to the victim so the senior officers claimed to be working on all the aspects which included some property or official dispute of the victim. The cops were also waiting for the victim’s wife to return from her parent’s house to confirm whether some documents were also looted by the criminals.
Talking to local media persons in Bareilly on Thursday morning, SSP Bareilly, Dharamveer Singh said that Dr Deepak Sharma (55) head of the of Animal Genetic division in IVRI was murdered by some criminals on Wednesday night. The criminals also decamped with valuables of the house after killing the scientist.
