Brother-in-law arrested in youth’s murder case

JAIPUR: Finally, the police managed a breakthrough in

Amit Nair murder case .

Police have arrested Mukesh, Amit’s brother-in-law from

on Friday.

There were reports that Nair’s in-laws are the accused in the case, who allegedly resorted to occult practices to separate Nair from his wife Mamta. However, police claimed that the information was not authentic.

“We have information of occult practices but it is not authentic. When we arrest the accused and investigate the case further, we will be able to find out more details in the case,” said

Ashok Gupta

, deputy commissioner of police (west).

However, police claimed that it was not the first time Nair’s in-laws went to his house with the intention to kill him. “Earlier also they had gone to his house but the couple was not at home,” Gupta said.

On Wednesday morning, Nair (30) was shot dead in his house at

Jagdamba Vihar

in the city.

Police said that Mamta’s father Jeevan Ram Chaudhary (65) and her mother, on Wednesday visited her house with an unidentified man who carried out the crime

Amit died on the spot as he suffered grave injuries on his neck, windpipe and chest.
