Father Kills Son Over Contract Killing Fear
3 Jun
Summary
- Father suspected son hired contract killer for Rs 10 lakh.
- Property dealer found shot dead inside his SUV.
- Father confessed to killing his son during interrogation.
In Meerut, police have arrested Sunder Tyagi, 57, and an associate for the murder of his son, 32-year-old property dealer Tushar Tyagi. The victim was found shot dead inside his SUV near Panchi underpass on Tuesday. Police claim Sunder Tyagi suspected his son of planning to hire a contract killer for Rs 10 lakh to eliminate him.
Investigators reconstructed Tushar's final movements using CCTV footage and technical intelligence. Sunder Tyagi, a former history-sheeter with a criminal record, was reportedly in the vehicle with his son when the shooting occurred. He allegedly confessed to shooting Tushar inside the SUV and then abandoning the vehicle and body.
While the primary motive appears to stem from the father's suspicions of a contract killing plot, police are also examining a possible land dispute. Tushar's wife had initially reported him missing, fearing abduction, but evidence shifted the investigation towards his father and an associate. Further inquiries are ongoing to determine the full involvement of others.
