Ranjit Bachchan Murder Case
According to police officials, he was shot in the leg while he was trying to escape on a numberless motorcycle. He was taken to Lok Bandhu hospital in Uttar Pradesh’s Lucknow for treatment and is said to be out of danger now.
According to reports, the police got a tip-off that Jitendra is trying to escape from Rae Bareli on a bike. A team of Cyber Cell and Crime Branch blocked all the connecting routes. When Jitendra saw a heavy police team, he started firing. In retaliation, cops shot Jitendra on the left leg. Police have recovered a pistol and the numberless bike from his possession.
Ranjeet Bachchan, 40, who was president of Akhil Bhartiya Hindu Mahasabha, was shot dead on Sunday when he along with his brother Aditya Srivastava was on a morning walk. His first wife Kalindi Bachchan had accused members of another community of her husband’s assassination.
However, police on Thursday cracked the case and arrested Bachchan’s second wife Smriti, her lover Deependra and Sanjeet. The cops ruled that Smriti was having an extra-martial relation with Deepandra and wanted to marry him. The duo hatched the conspiracy of murder as Bachchan was not ready to leave her.
Police investigations revealed that Bachchan’s relation with Smriti had become sour. Smriti had also filed for separation in family court in 2016 but Hindu Mahasabha leader did not appear before the court. Even on the last date of hearing on January 27, Bachchan failed to appear before the court.
Recently, Bachchan wanted to go out with Smriti to celebrate their wedding anniversary, but when she refused, he slapped her. This incident provoked her to eliminate Ranjeet.
