Murder of Central Excise Officer – Gutka Manufacturers arrested
Assistant Commissioner of Central Excise, Narvedeshwar Singh was killed by unidentified persons in Varanasi on August 23.
Now the Police have arrested 8 persons solving the murder mystery. It seems the murder was by contract killers hired by gutka company owners, who were unhappy after Singh seized goods from them in May. Rs 5 lakh was given to the contract killers to execute the plan.
It seems the four contract killers trapped Narvedeshwar by making a hoax call about some goods being illegally brought to a warehouse. Knowing that he usually swooped down on offenders alone, they gave him an address where they could attack him.
