DGP orders inquiry into air-hostess murder case

Noida, Apr 20 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh Director General of Police Vikram Singh today ordered an inquiry into the allegations that the state police is falsely implicating people in the murder case of a former air-hostess.

Mr Verma todl UNI the officials found guilty of manipulating and falsely implicating the people in the case would not be spared.

Former air-hostess Sheeba Thomas was killed here on April 8 while one retired Lt General T J S Gill was also assaulted on the same night.

The police held four criminals -- Lachchu alias Nikki Yadav, Mukesh alias Mukia, Ashok and Annu for committing the crime.

However, the investigation did not progress further. The police failed to recover the missing mobile phone and the keys of Sheeba's car.

Besides, the signals picked up by the mobiles of the accused don't corroborate the claims of the police.

It appears that the murder of Sheeba could have been prevented if the police had acted promptly on the complaints of three people who had been looted by some motorcycle-borne goons shortly before the former air-hostess was shot dead.

The sector 58 police station did not put out an alert despite complaints lodged by three people looted near Shatabdi Vihar.
