In a major breakthrough in the murder case of National Investigation Agency (NIA) DSP Tanzeel Ahmed, the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) on Tuesday arrested the prime accused Muneer.
Muneer, who has been arrested from Noida, has been taken to an undisclosed location for questioning in connection with this case.
The Uttar Pradesh Police had earlier announced a reward of Rs. two lakh on Muneer, who was absconding post the murder.
According to the police, Muneer formed a gang along with his two associates and attacked Tanzeel Ahmed, when he was driving back home with his family from a wedding near his village Sahaspur in Bijnor.
Ahmed, an Assistant Commandant with the Border Security Force (BSF) on deputation to the NIA, was killed by two motorcycle-borne assailants in April this year.
