A Notorious History-Sheeter
Two people responsible for the shooting have been swiftly arrested and are currently under police custody. The deceased, a history sheeter held at Beur jail, faced charges ranging from murder to extortion. Notably, Abhishek, a notorious "contract killer," had previously attacked the daughter of former MLA Surendra Sharma, who had allegedly contracted him to kill his daughter in exchange for Rs 20 lakh.
Last year, Abhishek executed the attack, leading to his arrest and subsequent imprisonment in Beur jail alongside his brother Rahul.
