CMO killers linked to Sachan

Two pistols used in killing chief medical officer BP Singh have been recovered and the links of arrested shooters with deputy CMO YS Sachan have been established digitally through their call records, a senior official said on Sunday.

The pistols were recovered from three persons — RK Verma, Vinod Sharma and Anand Tiwari — arrested by the STF on June 17, cabinet secretary Sahashank Shekhar Singh told reporters.

He said Verma was a friend of Sachan on whose direction he hired two shooters to kill the CMO, with whom the Deputy CMO had some enmity due departmental rivalry.

The pistols and shells recovered from the spot of crime matched as per the Forensic report and call details of the trio from February were analysed and their link with Sachan was digitally established, he said.

Besides, location of the three arrested has been established, he said, adding the four voice recordings have also been found to corroborate the fact. During investigation, the name of a person, Saurabh Khanna, who helped Sachan with money also come to the fore, he said.
