4 surrender over Wasseypur gang killing

DHANBAD: Four people, including two sons of Fahim Khan, the leader of a gang of criminals of Wasseypur, surrendered before the court of chief judicial magistrate on Thursday. They were wanted in connection with the murder of Sonu Khan, a furniture dealer, at Subhash Chauk near Naya Bazar on Monday. The court of CJM Ashok Kumar Upadhya sent all four to judicial remand for a fortnight.Sonu Khan, considered to be an associate of a gang led by Shabir Alam, rival of the Fahim Khan gang, was shot dead near a tea shop close to his showroom. Fahim Khan is imprisoned in Hazaribagh central Jail in connection with a murder case. Family members of Sonu had named eight people as accused in the murder. Two of them are Iqbal Khan and Prince Khan, sons of Fahim Khan, and two others - Goodwin and Rajjan Khan - are also close relatives of Fahim Khan. Sonu's family members on Thursday morning demonstrated at Dhanbad Sadar police station demanding arrest of all criminals responsible for Sonu's murder. They alleged that they were the conspirators behind the murder.
District SP R K Dhan said the four surrendered because of police pressure. The police have launched a drive to arrest the four more named in the FIR lodged by Sonu's brother. Dhan added that investigation was on and all culprits would be arrested soon. A land dispute is believed to be the reason behind the latest gang war at Wasseypur, police said.
