GREATER NOIDA: Another person was arrested from Greater Noida in connection with the murder of an elderly couple in their house on February 5. Businessman Narendra Nath (70) and his wife Suman (67) were found murdered in their house in Alpha 2. The house was found ransacked and Suman’s jewellery and cash were missing.
Police said Visun Singh was arrested after a brief exchange of fire in Sector Beta 2 on Sunday.
Two others, also believed to have a role in the murder, escaped. On Saturday, police in Gwalior had rounded up two suspects — Dev Sharma and Lallu Singh Bhadoria — who were taken into custody by Greater Noida police.
The police have named the prime suspects as Rohit and Subhash, both of whom are still untraceable. Preliminary probe has also revealed that Rohit would visit Narendra Nath’s house often and had even borrowed money against his bike a few days ago. Narendra Nath, a cousin of former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Kamal Nath, had allegedly told his family that Rohit was extremely aggressive at times.
Sujeet Upadhyay, the SHO of Beta 2 police station, said the location of Rohit’s mobile phone was found to be near Narendra Nath’s house on the day he was murdered. Call details of Narendra Nath have revealed that the businessman would talk to some people in MP. But it has also come to the fore that the same set of people were in touch with Rohit as well.
“Rohit and his aides had booked a cab to a guest house in Sakhipur village on Friday. The cab driver told us he had dropped them to Gwalior the next day. They have been identified in CCTV footage. The driver told us that the accused were calling each other as Rohit, Dev, Visun and Shubhash,” the officer said.
A Greater Noida police team reached Gwalior and detained Sharma and Bhadoria for questioning. Sharma spilled the beans on the remaining accused.
Based on the information, the police had set up a check post at Beta 2.
Visun and two others were riding a bike and were asked to stop. When they started fleeing, the cops fired at them and Visun was hit in the leg. The two others managed to flee.
