Scrap dealer hires gunman to shoot himself & frames nephews in Agra

AGRA: A 50-year-old man hired a gunman for Rs 20,000 and got himself shot in the right hand. Later, he filed a complaint against five men, including his three nephews.
According to police, the accused had concocted a plan to frame his nephews and two other relatives and send them to jail over a property dispute. Surendra Singh along with his associate Manoj Rathore and shooter Bhola (known by his first name) have been arrested and sent to jail following court orders, police said.
Surendra, a resident of Shaligram Nagar under Tajganj police station, used to work as a scrap dealer. On Saturday, he had filed a police complaint claiming that "he was attacked by his three nephews along with two others. They fired at him while he was passing from the inner ring road on a bike with his brother. He was hit by a bullet in the right hand". Police registered an FIR against five men under IPC section 307 (attempt to murder).
DCP Somendra Meena said, "All the five accused named in the FIR were nowhere near the site of the incident. This raised suspicion about the complainant. After examining his call details, it surfaced that he was in constant touch with shooter Bhola. Following interrogation, Surendra confessed that he along with his accomplice, Manoj Rathore, had made the plan to frame his nephews and two relatives in a false case. Manoj had contacted Bhola who was given Rs 20,000 to shoot at Surendra."
