In a meticulously planned murder, the maternal cousin of a canteen owner, Sanjay Sharma, has been arrested for hiring an accomplice for Rs 10 lakh to execute the crime. The accused reportedly utilized YouTube tutorials to learn the intricacies of committing murder and evading law enforcement. This shocking revelation comes after Sharma was found dead on January 6, shot near Rama Park in Sector 37D.
Investigators identified the mastermind as Gurudatt Sharma, Sanjay's maternal cousin, who harbored a deep-seated grudge stemming from a decade-old business dispute and personal grievances. Gurudatt allegedly paid Anil, a private bus driver, Rs 10 lakh to carry out the assassination. The duo allegedly conducted surveillance on the victim for weeks and employed online videos to strategize the execution and their subsequent escape.
On the day of the incident, the accused and associates reportedly followed Sanjay's car and forced him to stop. When Sanjay resisted attempts to be pushed into their vehicle, Gurudatt allegedly fired at him at close range. Police are analyzing CCTV footage to apprehend other potential accomplices involved in the conspiracy, which was reported by the victim's son.
