Zirakpur cops yet to trace prime accused in two murder cases

Zirakpur, October 18 The Zirakpur police have failed to arrest prime accused in two murder cases reported recently. Ashok Saini had allegedly killed his 45-year-old wife, Sudesh, with a sharp weapon over some dispute three days ago. Since then, he continues to be on the run. He has been absconding from his house Dhakoli after committing the crime. Ashok made last phone call to his son and told him that he had killed Sudesh. Since then, there has been no clue about his whereabouts. He was into the business of making aluminium doors. In the murder case of a Himachal Pradesh native, prime accused Happy Brar, a resident of Faridkot, and some other suspects are still at large. The police have failed to trace Happy Brar, who allegedly shot dead Anil Thakur (35), a native of Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, on the VIP road in Zirakpur on October 10. Anil used to reside in Kharar with his wife and a 10-month-old son. Of the total eight suspects, three, including a woman, were earlier arrested. The cops had also impounded a silver Fortuner, which had a fake registration number, and a red Swift car belonging to the suspects. Heated arguments ensue over overtaking the vehicles. Meanwhile, the police said they had formed teams to trace the suspects. They had also conducted raids at various places. “We have got some leads and arrests will be made soon,” said a police official.
