Accused releases video, threatens to kill more men

Sindri

: The

Wasseypur

gang war, which led to the gruesome murder of property dealer Nanhe Khan, took a curious turn on late Wednesday night when Prince Khan, a named

accused

, took responsibility for the murder in a

video

message.

Prince claimed that he killed Nanhe to avenge the death of one Lal khan, another land dealer, and requested the police not to arrest innocent persons in this case. He also announced that he will surrender before the police once he kills the sons of Fahim Khan, the Wasseypur gang lord currently lodged in jail.

Prince’s announcement is unprecedented in the long and bloody history of gang wars in the coal fields of Dhanbad.

Through a video and a written letter addressed to Dhanbad SP, Prince alleged that the murder plot for Lal was hatched by Fahim and his sons. “Fahim and his men paid Rs 10 lakh to UP-based gangster Aman Singh through his son Iqbal and two others to kill Lal,” Prince claimed.

He also blamed a few others for conspiring to kill Lal and said that he would kill all of them and no one would survive.

“Anyone working for Fahim or his son would die a dog’s death and it is my promise to the people of Dhanbad that I would finish the Sultanate of Fahim Khan within six months,” Prince said.

Prince also threatened to kill Iqbal and another of Fahim’s sons within two days.

Dhanbad SSP Sanjeev Kumar on Thursday said that the police were keeping an eye on all the developments and none of the persons involved in the crime would be spared. “Different police teams are conducting raids in different localities and many persons have been apprehended and are being interrogated,” he added.
