Cloth trader murder case: Three persons arrested

With the arrest of three persons, police today claimed to have solved the murder case of a cloth trader here.
Indirapuram police yesterday arrested Pankaj and Prince of Delhi and Naseeb Chaudhary of Sahibabad's Pasonda village for allegedly hatching conspiracy for the murder of Arshi Malik, SHO Gorakh Nath Yadav said.
Yadav claimed that Pankaj confessed to renting a flat in ATS society using a fake ID from where the three accused watched Arshi's movement using binoculars and they used to give all the information to the key accused, Yunus alias Kala.
After they gave the final inputs about the deceased's movement, Kala murdered him inside ATS society on March 11 and fled the spot with his accomplices, he said.

Malik was an eyewitness in the murder case of his younger brother, Pappu Malik alias Amzad, who was shot dead on January 13, 2015. Amzad's assailants were later identified as Kala, Rasheed, Nadeem and Naseem, he said.
Arshi, who was the lone eyewitness in the case, had complained against Kala, Mausam Pradhan and Nawab accusing them of trying to exhort money in July 2014, he said.
Kala had been mounting pressure on Arshi to reach a compromise which he refused. Since then Kala nurtured grudge against him, he said.
Yadav added that the trio has been sent to jail under sections 302 (murder) and 120B (criminal conspiracy) of IPC andthe absconding accused would be nabbed soon.
