The arrested are advocate and insurance surveyor Rajvir Singh Arora, his associate Navin Neema, Rajesh Rathore, Kishore Chawdi and Kusum.

According to police, the accused took life insurance policies to the tune of Rs 25 lakh in the name of one Mahendra Kushwah from various companies. The accused Rajesh and Kishore on July 18 last year killed a Bihari labour who had come in contact with them by running a vehicle over him near Chintaman Temple here.

The accused put a diary in his pocket mentioning his identity as Mahendra Kushwah and the telephone numbers. When the Neelganga police recovered the body from the accident site, they contacted the accused on the said telephone numbers.

The accused confirmed the body as of Mahendra Kushwah and cremated it in Ujjain. Then insurance claims were lodged in the companies by producing Kusum as wife of the deceased. The accused even managed to get Rs 7 lakh so far.
