Vijay Kumar also stated that he informed the IO that the MLA had not returned his money, and he was still waiting for justice.

Police officers refused to comment on whether such calls were made to Vijay Kumar.

Sources said that before arresting Manoj Kumar, the investigators had collected all the evidence and verified all the documents and other papers with the forensic laboratory as well as the registrar’s office. “On Wednesday evening, the plan was finalised and a team of nearly 50 police personnel was formed. This included ten inspectors and 12 sub-inspectors under the supervision of Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) Ajay Kumar,” said sources.

The action plan was monitored by the Joint Commissioner of Police, Eastern Range, Sanjay Beniwal, said sources in the police. “On Wednesday, police called Manoj Kumar and asked him to come and join the probe. But he told them he was busy and refused to come.

Later, one of the teams reached Kumar’s home and after serving notice to him, they asked him to come along with them. He was picked up on Thursday and taken to Farsh Bazar police station where after some hours, his arrest was made,” police sources said.
