SP worker shot on way to Lucknow

Dubey said Kohli,a native of Kamla Nagar locality in Agra,had taken the bus on Monday night from Agra for Lucknow. The bus took a halt at a dhaba in Sikandara area at 2 am. Kohli was sleeping when two youths went inside the bus and shot her dead. The assailants escaped after threatening the other passengers. Kohli sustained three bullet wounds on her stomach and one on her head,the SP added.

Dubey said Kohli’s son Sumit was married to one Preeti,who later got married to a person called Nitin Gupta of Agra in 2009. According to victim’s son,Preeti,her husband Nitin Gupta and his friend Mohit Bhardwaj had planned the murder.

Following Preeti’s marriage to Gupta,a case was registered into the matter. But Preeti stayed with Gupta.

In 2010 Gupta’s brother Gaurav was murdered in Agra and Gupta had named Kohli and her two sons as accused. The duo had been jailed and were released on bail later.

Police said that all the three named in the complaint — Preeti,Gupta and Mohit are absconding.

The secretary in the district unit,Om Prakash Tomar said that Kohli had visited senior party leader Shivpal Yadav at Etawah about four days ago.

She was a member of the party,but had stopped attending party meeting for the last few years,he added.
