Convicts hatched the conspiracy to kill Dainik Jagran journalist Vimal Kumar Yadav, who was shot dead on Friday. In a shocking revelation, Araria police on Saturday disclosed that Rupesh Yadav and Kranti Yadav, currently incarcerated at the Supaul and Araria jails, respectively, plotted to kill the journalist, the only witness in the murder of his younger brother Gabbu Yadav.
Vimal Yadav had been continuously receiving threats to change his testimony. Out of eight persons named as accused in the case, four have been arrested. The two main accused in the case — Madhav Yadav and Arjun Sharma — are absconding.
Araria Superintendent of Police (SP) Ashok Kumar Singh on Saturday said two convicts in two different jails had conspired to kill Vimal Yadav through his friends.
