Bokaro: Police arrested five suspects for the murder of Pintu Nayak on Jan 12 under the Kasmar police station. Nayak, employed at Hazaribag treasury, was shot in his room. The murder weapon, ammunition, and motorcycle used by the accused were seized.
The victim's sister-in-law, Sunita Devi (42) orchestrated the murder by offering a contract of Rs 3 lakh. She executed the plan with the assistance of her nephew (her sister's son) Chhotalal Nayak and his associates, police said.
