- A property dealer was allegedly killed by his nephew and two accomplices.
- The motive was Rs 12 lakh from a recent land sale and inheritance concerns.
- All three accused, including the nephew, have been arrested by the police.
In Agra's Shahi village, a 45-year-old property dealer, Dharamveer Singh, was allegedly killed by his nephew, Dushyant, and two of Dushyant's friends. The motive for the murder, which occurred recently, was reportedly Rs 12 lakh from a recent land sale and concerns over inheritance. Singh, who was unmarried, lived alone in a portion of a house he shared with his nephew's father.
Investigators revealed that Dharamveer had recently sold a piece of land for Rs 12 lakh. Dushyant, facing financial difficulties, allegedly feared his uncle would not share the proceeds or leave him any of his remaining properties. This dispute escalated into a plan to murder Dharamveer.
On the night of September 24-25, Dushyant and one accomplice, Shiva, were present at Dharamveer's residence. The third accused, Yash, allegedly alerted them upon the victim's arrival. The two then attacked Dharamveer with a brick and strangled him to death. Police have recovered clothes believed to be worn by the accused and the suspected murder weapon. An FIR has been registered, and all three accused have been arrested.
