LUCKNOW: Six suspects have been arrested in connection with the murder of 22-year-old Ram Gopal Mishra during Sunday's communal clashes over a Durga idol immersion procession in UP's Bahraich, police said Thursday, adding two of them were later injured in an encounter with cops.
Abdul Hameed, Mohammad Sarfaraz, Fahim, Talim and Mohammad Afzal were tracked down late Wednesday, Bahraich SP Vrinda Shukla said. Afzal is the husband of a local pradhan (village head) and accused of harbouring the other accused, some of whom are related to him. Police said the sixth suspect, Sahir alias Mohd Danish, was held as he planned to flee to Nepal, which borders the UP district. Four of the accused were named in an FIR filed Sunday after Mishra's brother approached cops.
