Police have circulated sketches of two suspects in the case of killing of constable Anand Singh by three unidentified snatchers in Shahabad area of outer Delhi last week.

"Copies of the suspects' sketches have been circulated among a sizable number of policemen who are working overtime to catch the perpetrators. We have also been working on fresh leads and there are certain developments which could lead to arrest of the trio," said a senior police officer.

Forty-nine-year-old Singh was shot dead by the snatchers while he was chasing them after they had robbed money from a woman vendor in Bawana Industrial Area on August 19. He was posted at Sector V police chowki under Shahabad police station.
 

A number of teams of Delhi Police's specialised units, including Special Cell and Crime Branch, have been formed to arrest the trio.

Singh had sustained bullet injury in the chest. He was rushed to a nearby hospital where doctors declared him brought dead, they said.

The woman vendor who was robbed by the three snatchers and another shopkeeper helped in sketching the details of the culprits.
