Singh along with his associate Manoj Rathore and shooter Bhola have been arrested and sent to jail following court orders, police said.
A resident of Shaligram Nagar under Tajganj police station, Singh used to work as a scrap dealer. He filed a police complaint on February 25, claiming that “he was attacked by his three nephews along with two others”.
He said that they fired at him while he was on a bike with his brother. He was hit by a bullet in the right hand. The police have registered an FIR against the five men under IPC section 307 (attempt to murder).
DCP Somendra Meena said “All the five accused named in the FIR were nowhere near the site of the incident. This raised suspicion about the complainant. After examining his call details, it surfaced that he was in constant touch with shooter Bhola.
“Following interrogation, Surendra confessed that he along with his accomplice, Manoj Rathore, had made the plan to frame his nephews and two relatives in a false case. Manoj had contacted Bhola who was given Rs 20,000 to shoot at Surendra.”
