A 67-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly hiring contract killers to bump off his elder brother since he was jealous of the latter’s success in business, police said on Tuesday. Two others have also been arrested in connection with the matter.
In April, eight suspected members of Harender alias Heavy’s gang were arrested for allegedly planning to kill the proprietor of Taj Orient Hotel situated in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, following a shootout in south Delhi’s Vasant Kunj. During investigation, it was found that one Chander Shekhar (67) and his close aide Shambhu (39) had hatched a plan to kill Shekhar’s elder brother Krishan Kumar Sharma, said DCP (South) Ishwar Singh.
