Tyagi, a constable with Uttarakhand Police since 2005 and

deployed as Namdhari's PSO since January 2012, was also arrested for his alleged role in the crime. Ponty and Hardeep, who had a property dispute, were killed in a shootout at their Chhattarpur farmhouse here on November 17, 2012, after which ten persons, including Tyagi and Namdhari, were arrested in various criminal cases linked to the incident. All the ten accused have been booked for allegedly committing offences of hatching criminal conspiracy, attempt to murder, dacoity, assault, Arms Act, destruction of evidence, trespass, illegal confinement and kidnapping. The police, however, has booked Namdhari on the charge of murder. The police had told the court that it has been established by the probe that Namdhari had played a vital role in the conspiracy with other co-accused who acted on his orders. (More)
