A 60-year-old man was allegedly shot dead at Goela village under Shahpur police station area here, police said today.
The victim, identified as Waheed Ahamad, was killed by the accused - Gaurav and Jitender Kumar - last evening, SHO Ajaylal Gautam said.
Police have registered a murder case against the duo on the basis of a complaint filed by the victim's wife, Rasheedan.
Police said old enmity might be a reason behind the murder.
Security has been tightened in the village and additional police force has been deployed in the area.
Earlier, irate villagers refused to handover the body but later police managed to send it for post-mortem.
Police had noted that among the victims, Hasnain's father
and Subiya had cuts on the two fingers of the left hand, indicating attempt to resist, the JCP said.
Hasnain had invited his three sisters and their children for a weekend get-together and feast. He had himself gone to Subiya's house to bring her. The police however did not know why he did not invite his brothers-in-law for the 'dawat', Dumbre said.
Police were examining the cell-phones and laptops of the accused, and had also seized some medicines found in the house.
Teams had been formed to speak to various people who knew the family and the accused, the officer said.
Subiya was not in the right frame of mind (because of the shock), the JCP said. "After answering some questions of the investigators, she starts asking about her daughter, as she thinks that her daughter is still alive," the JCP said.
"We think by tonight she would be in a condition to talk precisely," added Dumbre.
Of late Hasnain, a commerce graduate who used to file income tax returns for a CA's firm, didn't have any permanent job, according to the police.
