LUCKNOW: A Border Security Force (BSF) constable allegedly shot dead a former colleague because the latter was becoming a hindrance in the jawan's illicit affair with the victim's wife.
The murder was committed in Itarsi of Hoshangabad district of Madhya Pradesh on March 18.
The accused, Kusendra Singh, 41, was nabbed by a joint team of MP and UP Police from his hideout in Talgaon hamlet of Sitapur on Saturday night.
The victim was identified as former BSF constable Alfred Neirus, 44.
The police began the hunt for Kusendra after Neirus's six-year-old daughter and the lone witness to the crime told the police about the sequence of events. Neirus's daughter Annie told the police that on March 18 Kusendra took a lift from Neirus in Itarsi.
The latter was going to drop Annie to school on a scooter. Kusendra requested Neirus to drop him at a nearby highway.
When they reached a lone stretch in Pandu Kheda, Kusendra asked Neirus to stop the scooter.
The duo then started having an argument. Suddenly Kusendra took out a gun and fired at Neirus.
The bullet pierced through the victim's chest. Kusendra then fled, leaving Annie at the spot.
Hearing the gunshot, some locals reached the spot and informed the police.

Annie did not know Kusendra's name but told police that he had visited her home in the past.
"He was very friendly and politely asked for lift," she told the police.
"Through electronic surveillance we traced Kusendra's presence in Sitapur on March 20.
A five-member team was sent to Talgaon where he was nabbed. Kusendra will be brought to Hoshangabad for questioning," said SP Hoshangabad ML Chari.
Chari told TOI that Kusendra and Neirus had served in the same BSF unit.
Kusendra is a native of Sitapur. Preliminary probe has revealed that Kusendra started the affair with Neirus's wife when she was posted as a teacher at the Central School in Sitapur.
Neirus learnt about the affair when he got her transferred to Hoshangabad.
