Noida: One more person has been arrested in
connection with the killing of BJP leader Shiv Kumar and his
security guard last month, the Uttar Pradesh Special Task
Force (UPSTF) said today.
In a joint operation involving the UPSTF and Gautam
Buddha Nagar police, a sharpshooter, identified as Aniruddha,
was arrested from the Bisrakh area last night.
A country-made pistol, three live cartridges, a
motorcycle, a mobile phone and Rs 25,000 in cash were seized
from Aniruddha, who hails from Muzaffarnagar, a spokesperson
of the UPSTF said.
During interrogation, Aniruddha told police his uncle was
a member of the Vicky Tyagi gang.
BJP leader Shiv Kumar and his security guard were shot
dead in the Bisrakh area on November 16 when they were going
to Ghaziabad in a car.
Three people were earlier this month arrested by the
UPSTF in connection with the killing.
