NEW DELHI: Almost two weeks after the murder of former Jammu and Kashmir legislative council member Trilochan Singh Wazir, the west Delhi police has nabbed a man from Jammu who claimed to be present in the flat where the killing took place on September 2. Rajendra alias Raju allegedly told police that Harpreet killed 67-year-old Wazir to avenge the death of his uncle.
According to Raju, Harpreet’s uncle was killed in 1983 and he suspected Wazir’s hand behind it.
At least two others, Harmeet and Billa, were also involved in the crime, he claimed. Wazir was given sedatives following which he was shot, Raju told the cops. After his formal arrest, Raju will be handed over to Crime Branch of Delhi Police, which is handling the case.
Investigating officials claimed that Raju said he was present in the house with Harmeet, Harpreet and Billa and, after Wazir was shot dead, all four accused left one by one. Raju had gone to his in-laws’ house in Jammu, said an officer.
Crime Branch has so far identified 34-year-old Harmeet as the prime suspect as he was apprehensive that Wazir was a threat to his life. Harpreet reportedly told Harmeet that Wazir had given a contract to eliminate the latter for Rs 4 crore and already paid Rs 2 crore. Police had also suspected Harpreet as the body was found in his flat on September 9. Police are scanning the Facebook profiles of Wazir, Harpreet and Harmeet to trace the conversations among them.
As per investigations, Harmeet threatened Harpreet with a gun after killing Wazir and said he would take care of everything. According to an alleged confession note by Harmeet on Facebook , he had murdered Wazir.
After the murder, Harpreet went to the IGI airport on the directions of Harmeet to convince the victim’s family members that he had taken a flight to Canada, claimed police. “The following day, Harpreet called Harmeet and told him that he was scared. On the pretext of trying to save themselves, Harmeet asked for some money. Harpreet sold his house stuff and gave Harmeet some money. The duo also decided to surrender. But when Harpreet started getting calls from police, they ran away. Harmeet also contemplated committing suicide,” an officer said.
