A family feud, a court plea and a daylight shooting: The chilling murder of Dehradun businessman

Abhilasha Sharma, the wife of the deceased, submitted a complaint on which an FIR has been registered. She alleged that her mother-in-law, Beena Sharma, had financial dealings with three people, and her husband had opposed these monetary transactions, which led to disputes between him and his mother. She expressed suspicion that her husband could have been murdered due to this dispute.

Rajiv Swaroop, Inspector General of Police, Garhwal Range, has directed the Senior Superintendent of Police, Dehradun, to constitute special teams to make arrests. A review meeting was convened at the Range Office with all Circle Officers (COs) of Dehradun district surrounding the recent criminal incidents in the district and issued necessary directions regarding their prompt detection and effective prevention.

Officers have been asked to conduct regular checking drives to detain suspicious persons, along with routine and random checks at multiple locations to establish effective control over criminal activities.
