New Delhi: In a fresh development in National Conference leader Trilochan Singh Wazir murder case, Harmeet Singh, accused, revealed during police interrogation that Harpreet Singh pressurised him to write a suicide note and upload it on Facebook. Harmeet said that Harpreet had pressurized him to kill Wazir and Harpreet is the mastermind of the incident, as per police sources.
Triggering a row, the Facebook post in suspect Harmeet Singh's account surfaced including a confession letter revealing that Harmeet allegedly murdered Wazir. The letter also said that Singh is going to commit suicide. The letter narrated how the murder was committed.
The third accused Harmeet was arrested from Jammu by special cell on September 19. The police are still on a hunt for Harpreet who is still absconding. Earlier, Delhi Police had arrested Rajendra Chaudhary alias Raju and Billa from Jammu on charges of murder and criminal conspiracy.
Police had found Wazir's decomposed body inside an apartment in West Delhi’s Basai Darapur on September 9. Wazir had come to Delhi on September 2 to board a flight to Canada but was allegedly shot dead inside Harpreet’s flat.
In an initial investigation, accused Rajendra alias Raju who was arrested from Jammu had revealed that four people were involved in the murder. He said the main motive was to kidnap Wazir and demand a huge ransom from his family, but they decided to eliminate him on September 8 after they found that he had transferred all his money to his family in Canada.
The police said Rajendra is a private cab driver in Mumbai and was called to Delhi by Harpreet for some job. Billa and Rajendra are close friends of Harpreet. Raju had claimed that Harpreet Singh's maternal uncle was murdered in 1983 and to avenge the massacre, Harpreet planned to kidnap Trilochan Singh Wazir and later he killed him realising that they would be exposed. Police said that the conspiracy was planned in August to kidnap Trilochan by making him unconscious.
