On Sept 21, this year he murdered one Bittoo at Dassuwa with the help of one Sukhdev Singh alias Sukha of Nanak Nagar Jammu. He took Rs 3 lakh for this contract, the police said. The SSP further claimed that this contract killer came to Jammu as he had been invited by one Rakesh Kumar alias Bittoo Kawadia, son of Sain Dass of Rampura (Nai Basti) for eliminating one Anil Mahajan alias Gulla of Shastri Nagar. The contract, however, could not be finalised because one close associate of the criminal namely Sukha intervened as he turned out to be a friend of the target. This professional killer—Bindu changed sides and after a meeting with Anil Mahajan alias Gulla entered into a contract to eliminate Bittoo Kawadia. During this process of chasing Bittoo, he fell into the dragnet of Gandhi Nagar police. |
