A case in this regard was registered following a complaint by Sunil Kumar, the cousin of the deceased. Investigating Officer Chidawa DSP Suresh Sharma said that they have arrested four persons, including a father-son duo. The accused have been identified as Mamchand Saini, his son Rakesh Saini, Chetan Varma and Nangram Regar. "A hunt is on to trace the other accused," the officer said.
Police said Shimbhudayal was alone at his house when he was picked up by the group of persons. Around one and a half months ago, his wife Anita had gone to Mumbai with their children. His younger brother Vinod had gone to Harpalu. According to the cops, someone had stolen accused Mamchand's bicycle four days ago and he suspected that it was Shimbhudayal, who robbed it. At first, he came to Shimbhudayal's house and enquired about it, but later came with his companions and took the victim to an isolated place.
