LUCKNOW: Lucknow police detained a doctor from Sultanpur and another person from a flat in Lucknow on Monday in connection with the murder of history-sheeter Ajit Singh.
A crime branch official told TOI that accused Rehan, who was arrested on Sunday, had revealed the names of Dr AK Singh of Sultanpur and Vishal Singh. Police also traced WhatsApp chats between Vishal and an eastern UP don-turned-politician.
Officials said that Vishal stayed in a flat in Gomtinagar extension registered in the name of the eastern UP don-turned-politician. As per the plan, Vishal was to take the shooters out of Uttar Pradesh.
However, the plan got upset after the alleged shooters, Girdhari Sharma and Pradeep Singh Kabutra got injured, the police said.
As a result, the shooters were first taken to the flat by Rehan and Vishal and a private doctor was called to treat them. Thereafter, the eastern UP don-turned-politician reportedly made arrangements for the duo at Sultanpur by informing Dr AK Singh, said the police.
“On January 7 morning, the duo were taken to private facility of Dr AK Singh in the red-coloured SUV by Vishal,” said the police.
The injured shooters were admitted under fake names to conceal their identities till the treatment on January 10, police said. Later, they were taken in a maroon-coloured car and dropped till Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh. “We have checked the entire conversation and also seized Vishal’s mobile phone,” said a police officer.
