“During interrogation, Satbir has revealed that two others persons identified as Rajender of Mandhothi village and Dharmendra of Rurkee village were also involved in the crime. The trio hatched a conspiracy to demand the extortion by sending a letter to the MD on June 27,” said Chaman Lal, police spokesman.
Lal said that Satbir was arrested from Bahadurgarh and sent into one-day police remand. He said Rajender had committed suicide by consuming poison. Raids were being conducted to arrest Dharmendra.
