Police have also organised a meeting of the residents’ welfare association so that a local residents can keep a tab on illegal occupants and inform the local police and the LDA officials.
Investigations so far have revealed that prime accused Jai Singh was occupying the flat number V-24 before the murder and was untraceable since then. This flat is allotted to Samajwadi Party MLA Mahendra Singh Rajput. "Though the flat was allotted to the MLA, the LDA was yet to hand over the possession to him, hence he cannot be accused of foul play at this stage," Kumar clarified.
