Raids at two places in Kolkata

After getting clues from Tausif’s family, the STF and Patna police team went to Kolkata by flight. The officers sitting in Patna started looking at the mobile location and CDR of the five shooters.

After getting clues from the CDR, STF and Kolkata Police raided two flats in Sukhi Vrishti Apartment in Newtown. Some people were picked up from flat number 206 and 406, but were released after questioning.

Based on the clues received from them, a car was caught in Anandpur, Leather Complex and Bhangar areas. There were five people in this car, who were arrested. Later, three more people were caught through them.

Planning of Chandan’s murder was done from Bihar jail

According to sources, the team of Bihar STF and Bengal STF went to Purulia jail in West Bengal. Omkar Singh alias Sheru Singh, who is lodged in the jail, was questioned. During the interrogation, STF got some important information from Sheru Singh.

One of his henchmen, lodged in a jail in Bihar, had planned to murder Chandan Mishra.

Sheru had given contract to Tausif for murder for Rs 10 lakh

If sources are to be believed, Sheru had given a contract of Rs. 10 lakh to Tausif to kill Chandan Mishra, a notorious criminal of Buxar.

The shooters had reached Samanpura 3 days before the incident. They had made their hideout in an apartment behind Paras Hospital. This hideout was arranged by a gangster from Samanpura itself. The hospital was reconnoitered every day.

Investigation has revealed that Tausif was already acquainted with some staff of Paras Hospital. A few months ago, one of his friends was admitted in Paras. He used to visit the hospital frequently to meet him. Some employees of Paras Hospital are also under the scanner of the investigation team.

On Friday, the police questioned some employees of Paras Hospital. The hospital administration has been asked for a list of personnel deployed for police security.

The police have picked up five youths including Jishan from Samanpura. All of them are being questioned. The police are conducting raids in Patna, Ara, Buxar, Gaya and some areas of Jharkhand.

Sheru and Tausif became friends in jail

According to sources, Sheru had given the contract to Tausif. Sheru is currently in Purulia jail. Earlier he was in Beur jail. It was there that he met shooter Tausif. Both of them became friends in the jail.

Tausif was released from jail a few months ago. After this, Sheru contacted Tausif from Purulia jail itself. He told him the plan. A police team will soon go to Purulia jail to interrogate Sheru.

Chandan came out on parole on July 3. He had to return to Beur jail by the evening of July 18. He had got parole for his father’s treatment.

During this time, he stayed in the village for several days. Out of the five shooters seen in the CCTV of Paras Hospital, two had gone to meet Chandan at his house in Sonvarsha.
