Jamshedpur, Oct. 19 -- In a major success, police arrested four persons, including two alleged shooters called in from Bihar, plotting to murder a Jamshedpur-based spice merchant and a Bhubaneswar-based builder for a supari (contract killing) of Rs.40 lakh. The arrests were made near the new railway bridge under Jugsalai police station (PS) here, police said on Sunday. Police said the gang was also surveying and targeting three or four businessmen in Jugsalai locality apart from firing to spread terror and attempt extortion. The arrested accused were identified as main conspirator Rajesh Kumar Sahu, Mannu Kumar, Pratik Kumar (Chhapra, Bihar) and Vikas Kumar Singh alias Ritik (Chhapra, Bihar). "Main conspirator Rajesh had taken a supari of Rs.40 lakh to kill a big builder in Bhubaneswar. Under the deal, he promised to pay Rs.15 lakh to the shooters. He had also targeted a spice merchant in Jugsalai. Furthermore, this gang was planning firing incidents during Durga Puja to spread terror and extort businessmen," Dr Ehtesham Waqarib, Jamshedpur SSP, told the media on Sunday. The SSP said a special team, under city SP Lalit Meena, was formed after a tip-off and the four accused were apprehended near the new railway bridge. "Two loaded country-made pistols, 25 rounds of live cartridges, two empty shells and five mobile phones have been seized from the possession of the accused," Lalit Meena added. "This time, he had bought the six-rounder pistol and 25 rounds of cartridges for Rs.1.90 lakh from Naubatpur locality of Patna and handed these over to the shooters from Bihar. During interrogation, it also came to the fore that Sahu was also mastermind in the dacoity worth crores in the house of a nursing home owner under Kadma PS in Jamshedpur.
