Hyderabad police probing the suspected honour killing of Neeraj Panwar (22), who was hacked to death by his wife Sanjana’s cousins at Begum Bazaar on May 20, said that a total of nine persons were involved in the case, and so far they have arrested seven.
“Two more persons who were involved in the conspiracy, are yet to be arrested. Our teams are looking for them,” a senior officer associated with the investigation of the case told The Hindu, adding that the names of nine persons were cited in the remand report.
Initially, police suspected that only six persons were involved in the conspiracy to eliminate Neeraj, however, during the course of the investigation they came across three more names who directly helped the prime accused Abhinanadan Yadav alias Nandan (26) from Kolsawadi, Begum Bazar in the conspiracy. “They have knowledge about the murder plan,” he said.
