Why lawyer wanted to kill the woman
The woman is married and was having an illicit affair with the lawyer. So he hired the hitmen to eliminate her husband and father, the police said. Aftab paid the gang an advance of ₹2 lakh.
The gang member enlisted Yasir to carry out the killings. Yasir, in turn, brought Krishnakant on board to execute the plan. However, due to a mix-up, the duo ended up killing the wrong person.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) Raveena Tyagi told India Today, “The accused reached Madehganj on December 30 to carry out the murder but ended up killing the wrong person. The weapon, bike used in the crime, and the phones of the accused have been seized.”
The incident led to a friction between the gang and Aftab. He then refused to pay the remaining amount because their plans had gone haywire.
Police also recovered an illegal firearm, 14 live cartridges, a motorcycle allegedly used in the crime, and three mobile phones. DCP Tyagi said the accused would be presented in court.
