UP DGP to Personally Probe Into NIA Officer Tanzil Ahmed’s Murder
NIA Officer Tanzil Ahmed was shot dead on his way back home after attending a wedding.
The director general of police has been “directly and personally” monitoring the brutal killing of NIA official Tanzil Ahmad in Uttar Pradesh.
According to an official, following the intervention of Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Monday, Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Daljeet Chowdhary was going to Bijnor to visit the crime scene and review the progress made in the case.
The police, so far, had only been assisting the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and other central agencies in the probe, providing them logistical support.
The investigating team has zeroed in on a video clip of the wedding which Tanzil attended before being shot dead on his way back home, sources said.
A man shown in the video was at the centre of the probe, as no one was able to identify him as belonging to either the bride’s or groom’s party.
NIA officials believe that the man shown in the clip could be the one who killed Tanzil.
He also said that a recce of the crime scene was done three days before the actual attempt.
