Police on Monday arrested a local AAP leader, his girlfriend and four alleged contract killers in connection with the murder of his wife, who is also a party leader.<\/p>\n
Lipsy Mittal (33), wife of Anokh Mittal, was killed on Saturday by robbers near a village here, officials said.<\/p>\n
Anokh and his wife Lipsy were returning home after having dinner at a hotel on the Ludhiana-Malerkotla road, police had said.<\/p>\n
He had initially told the police that robbers intercepted them on Saturday, attacked the couple with sharp-edged weapons and fled with their car.<\/p>\n
Police Commissioner Kuldeep Singh Chahal said that the key conspirator of the murder turned out to be the woman’s husband.<\/p>\n
He said that the police have arrested her husband and local AAP leader Anokh Mittal (35), also a businessman and his 24-year-old girlfriend.<\/p>\n
Police said that Anokh’s wife had discovered that her husband had an extramarital affair following which he hatched the plan to his wife with the girlfriend.<\/p>\n
The commissioner said that besides Anokh and his girlfriend, four contract killers — Amritpal Singh alias Balli (26), Gurdeep Singh alias Manni (25), Sonu Singh (24) and Sagardeep Singh alias Teji (30) — have also been arrested.<\/p>\n
He added that Amritpal, Gurdeep and Sonu are from nearby village Nandpur and Sagardeep is a resident of Dhandari Kalan.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the kingpin of the contract killers’ gang, Gurpreet Singh alias Gopi, is still on the run, he said.<\/p>\n
Anokh had promised to pay Rs 2.5 lakhs to the contract killers and paid Rs 50,000 in advance, the police officer said.<\/p>\n
Further investigations were in progress, police said.<\/p>\n
