BJP leader Mishri Chand Gupta and his family members have been accused of killing Jagdish Yadav -who worked at a dairy farm located at Makronia intersection - by an SUV on December 22. The police registered a case of murder against eight people in the case - out of which five people have been arrested. However, the BJP leader is still absconding.
Notably, Jagdish Yadav was the nephew of independent Councilor Kiran Yadav - who had defeated Mishri Chand Gupta's wife Meena by 83 votes in the civic body polls.
As per some reports, Yadav was murdered allegedly due to enmity.
