Prayagraj: A man was arrested on Monday for killing his friend over a petty dispute near Badanpur road in Pratapgarh.
Superintendent of police, Pratapgarh, Abhishek Singh said the accused, Sandeep Singh of Badanpur Bilkharan village, shot his close friend Ajeet Verma dead on February 27 night and escaped.
Ajeet’s father, KK Verma of Khas Vardaran area, lodged an FIR with Kotwali police claiming that his son left the house with two of his friends, Rajan Singh and Suraj, on February 27 evening and did not return. Ajeet’s bullet-riddled body was found near Badanpur PG College the next morning.
The SP said Sandeep was arrested near ATL gate road while he was trying to flee the town.
Sandeep informed cops that he had dinner and liquor with his friends after which he and Ajeet stayed back.
He said Ajeet, in an inebriated state, started rebuking him and passed derogatory remarks against his family members. Sandeep alleged when Ajeet made objectionable remarks against his mother and sister, he got infuriated and shot him. Ajeet took five bullets on his chest and head.
After executing the crime, Sandeep reached his maternal uncle’s house in Amargarh and tried to get himself admitted in a hospital on back date. He was, however, arrested on Monday.
According to police, Ajeet had six cases against him while Sandeep was wanted in connection with four criminal cases.
