Six Arrested in the Murder of BSNL Engineer
Patna: Mar. 5, 2007
The police in Patna on Monday arrested six criminals in the killing of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) engineer Arun Tiwari who was fatally stabbed on November 16 during a robbery attempt on Bailey Road as he returned to his home from Patna Junction on a rickshaw.
The police also recovered two pistols, three live cartridges, one knife, and Rs. 10,500 in cash from the criminals’ possession, Kotwali police station in-charge Ajay Kumar said.
As reported, the same gang that killed Tiwari nearly four months ago targeted another youth near Hartali Mor on March 1. Based on the information provided by him in his police report, the police conducted raids on Monday and nabbed six criminals who started to run upon seeing the police approaching.
All six have confessed of killing Arun Tiwari, the police said.
“Tiwari happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time and became the victim of a robbery attempt turned deadly,” the apparent leader of the criminals said.
