Gurgaon murder: Cops assure security to victim’s widow
GURGAON : Security will be provided to the wife of agriculturist Anand Vashist, who was shot dead on Tuesday morning by a group of local criminals. The assailants are still at large.
The decision came after a delegation of Badshahpur residents, including relatives of the victim, met senior police officers and sought an assurance that Narender alias Tillu and his associates, who are the accused in the case, will be arrested at the earliest.
Vashisht, 41, was a witness in a firing incident which took place on February 11.
He was shot multiple times on Tuesday morning allegedly by Tillu and his accomplices. His wife, too, suffered gunshot wounds in the attack. The victim’s family members told police that he was targeted by Tillu and his henchmen because he was a prime witness in the firing case.
Vashist’s wife is now the prime witness in the murder of her husband and family members are apprehensive about her security.
The residents, who met Ashok Bakshi, DCP, south, on Saturday morning, said that even four days after the daylight killing, there’s been little or no progress in the investigation and the assailants are still at large. They also said that they fear that there is a threat to the life of Anand’s widow, as she is the sole witness in his murder.
