More than six years after a doctor from Nuh was shot dead in Gurgaon, three persons have been arrested for the crime. Investigators claim that the accused acted on behalf of a village sarpanch, who was allegedly having an affair with the victim’s wife.

On August 7, 2012, the doctor was shot dead outside his clinic in Gurgaon. Police identified the accused as Rizwan (34), Vikram (33) and Jaideep (33). Based on a tip-off, Rizwan was arrested from Ganaur, Sonipat, on February 20, and taken into police custody for four days. He disclosed the names of his two aides. The other accused were arrested from Kheri Gujar village on Sunday.

Subhash Boken, PRO of Gurgaon police, said that during interrogation, the accused claimed that they were paid Rs 25 lakh by the sarpanch. He has not been arrested yet, Boken said.
