Daughters of slain Sitapur graintrader, who failed to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi, finally managed to meet Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and apprised their displeasure over the claims of local police of having worked out the sensational killing by arresting one person last Tuesday. Yogi assured the girls that he would get the veracity of the police work out, probed and if the cops were found nting then strict action would be initiated.
Sources said that Richa and Sonam, daughters of slain trader Sunil Jaiswal met Yogi Adityanath on Thursday evening. Jaiswal was gunned down along with his wife and son outside his home. Minister for Women and Child Welfare Dr Rita Bahuguna Joshi, who met the daughters earlier, helped them to meet the CM and narrate their trauma.
last Tuesday, Principal Secretary (Home) Arvind Kumar had said that SP Sitapur, Mrigendra Singh informed him about the sensational murder of Jaiswal and his family registered with the Kotwali police station being worked out. Kumar said that Sharif of laharpur (Sitapur), who has a long criminal history, was arrested by Sitapur police on Tuesday morning.
“Recovery of cash and belongings of the deceased along with ‘Bahi’ (register) and other things were made from the accused, who also revealed the names of three other aides who were involved in t ehc crime. A bike used in the crime was also recovered,” the Principal Secretary said.
The triple murder had triggered public demonstrations in Sitapur while markets in the city were closed for several days. Graintrader Sunil Jaiswal (55), his wife Kamini (51) and their son Hrithik (25) were gunned down near their Civil lines house in Sitapur on June 6.
Sunil had barely reached the gate of his house on his motorcycle when assailants accosted him. and tried to snatch his bag containing cash. When he resisted, the criminals fired at him from close range. As Jaiswal’s wife and son rushed out, they too were fatally targeted.
