Bizman confesses to plotting murder of niece's husband
According to Aurangabad DSP Sanjay Pande, who headed the special investigation team, the accused, Jivan Singh, was arrested by Rajasthan police from Sawai Madhopur based on inputs from Aurangabad police. He has been remanded in judicial custody. Singh, police said, was in a long-standing relationship with his niece Gunja, Priyanshu's wife, and both are now in jail.
Two contract killers were allegedly hired for Rs 10 lakh and instructed to ensure Priyanshu's death.
"He was shot four times at point-blank range while returning from Varanasi," an officer said. A sum of Rs 2 lakh was paid in advance. Police are still searching for the two shooters.
Priyanshu was killed between his village Barwan and Nabinagar railway station. He was returning from Varanasi where he had gone to see his sister.
In total, four people have been arrested – the uncle and niece and two others accused of providing logistical support, including sim cards.
Singh, during interrogation, described the planning in detail. The affair allegedly began over a decade ago when Gunja, then a minor, stayed at his house during a family member's pregnancy. Despite her recent marriage, the relationship allegedly continued. Her cellphone was seized several times by her family and husband, but Singh provided new handsets each time.
Police have recovered cellphones, photographs and other incriminating evidence.
