“After receiving information that a man had been shot at by some unidentified persons, a police team rushed to the spot and took the victim to a hospital where he was declared dead on arrival,” Kumar said.
“During the probe, it came to light that Narendra was upset with his father as he sold out a piece of land but did not give him any share. He then contacted a man from his village, identified as Lokesh Kumar, to hire a contract killer from Delhi, Abhishek Kumar.”
The SSP added that Narendra and Abhishek have been arrested, while Lokesh is absconding.
