In yet another sensational revelation in Munna Bajrangi murder case, police have revealed that Rs 10-crore supari changed hands to bump off the notorious mafia don inside Baghpat jail.

A senior cop investigating the case revealed that a gangster-turned-politician from Eastern Uttar Pradesh may have given a Rs 10-crore supari to eliminate Bajrangi. The cop said they have come across transactions of Rs 7 crore and 3 crore from two banks in Jaunpur, just a day before Bajrangi was shot dead inside Baghapt jail by Sunil Rathi.

The police have sought account details from the two banks about the transactions, just a day before the sensational murder, to verify if the money was used for contract killing of Bajrangi.

The cop hinted that the two accounts were indirectly linked to another mafia don-turned- politician from Eastern UP, who also belongs to Jaunpur. Bajrangi's wife Seema Singh had taken his name and alleged he was behind the murder of her husband along with others.

The former MP was annoyed with Bajrangi's plan to contest 2019 Lok Sabha polls from Jaunpur. Both were having old rivalry over strengthening their underworld empire in Eastern Uttar Pradesh. A few months back, a shooter of Bajrangi was shot dead in Lucknow by the men of mafia don-turned-politician.

During his interrogation, Rathi had told the police that he had entered into a heated argument with Bajrangi who had also hurled abuses at that politician. Police claimed that a jail inmate shared that Rathi had received a call on his mobile soon after the brawl and after talking to the caller he returned to fire indiscriminately on Bajrangi from his pistol.

Police claimed that Bajrangi's two photographs, soon after his murder, were sent out by Rathi from his mobile, perhaps to the caller who had given the contract to confirm that Bajrangi was killed. They went viral on the social media.

The investigating team is, however, tight-lipped about Rathi's mobile and how he carried the pistol with him inside the jail with two extra magazines and 22 live cartridges.

Meawhile, the Yogi Adityanath government on Friday ordered for shifting of Sunil Rathi to Fatehgarh Central Jail from Baghpat district jail, where he had shot dead mafia don Munna Bajrangi.
