The Delhi Police's Special Cell has arrested two men in connection with the killing of a Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) employee in southeast Delhi's Govindpuri area last week.
The 45-year-old DTC bus driver, Sanjeev Kumar, was shot dead on July 6 when he was returning home on a bike with his wife and 8-year-old son from the market on the Fateh Singh Marg.
Of the two arrested accused, Jharkhand-resident Iqbal Ansari (42) was the main conspirator while Manish Mishra (34), a resident of Gujarat, executed the killing, the police said.
Earlier, the deceased's wife, Geeta alias Najma (28), ex-wife Geeta (54) and her daughter Komal (21) were arrested for the killing.Najma had told the police that her husband was abusive and would often beat her. Both the wife and ex-wife had claimed that Kumar had "ruined" their lives which is why they plotted to kill him and divide the property among themselves.
According to Jasmeet Singh, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Special Cell, Iqbal Ansari was nabbed on Saturday around 10.15 PM at Ravidas Marg near Govindpuri Metro Station.
"He disclosed to the police that he, in conspiracy with Nazma, Geeta and two of his associates Nayum and Mishra, had killed Kumar. After the incident, Mishra fled to Gujarat and Nayum to Jharkhand. Mishra was arrested from Valsad in Gujarat on Tuesday," said the DCP.
