The Haryana Police have arrested the key accused in connection with the blind murder case of a property dealer in Hansi on February 3 and solved the case within 48 hours of the incident.
The prime accused, Gurmeet Singh, a hairdresser from Bhaini Maharajpur in Rohtak district, was arrested Thursday. Police said four of Gurmeet’s accomplices were also identified.
Referring to the postmortem report, Hansi SP Amit Yashvardhan said, “Fourteen injuries were found on Malik’s (65) body, inflicted with sharp-edged weapons, most of them on the head. Police recovered a .315 bore pistol and fingerprints from the spot as part of the evidence.”
Under three DSP-rank officers, 15 teams were formed with additional support from cybercrime and crime branch units.
The Hansi SP said, “We questioned 25 suspects during the investigation. When our teams tried to contact Gurmeet, he did not respond. Based on technical leads, we learned he was near a local flyover. As soon as he saw our team, he jumped from the flyover and injured his leg. He was admitted to Agroha Medical College.”
Police said three of the five accomplices were from Madhya Pradesh’s Chhatarpur. They had come to Haryana for jobs and were living in rented accommodation. Malik was a regular customer at Gurmeet’s salon — where the accused noticed his gold ring, kada and chain.
Police said, “To arrange money for travel and leisure, they planned a robbery. With the intention of looting the property dealer’s ornaments, Gurmeet provided his motorcycle for the crime.”
