The motive was to frame the gram pradhan’s rival and his son in a fake “attempt to murder” case. However, instead of firing at Surendra’s leg, Bhupendra accidentally fired at his chest, killing him.'
SSP of Kasganj BBGTS Murthy said the incident took place on September 5.
After a detailed pinvestigation, Bhupendra confessed and was arrested. Cops recovered the illegal 12-bore weapon used in the crime. Kumar, who allegedly planned the criminal conspiracy, is absconding and efforts are on to nab him.
