Shalu denied involvement, while Vishal reiterated he killed Vineet at her behest, police said.
KANPUR: The 2022 will of 63-year-old pharmaceutical trader Vineet Minocha, which made his wife, son and daughter stakeholders in his property but excluded his daughter-in-law Shalu, is among the key aspects being examined by police in his murder case. Police on Monday recorded the statements of Shalu (30), who is currently in jail, and former servant Vishal Gautam after obtaining court permission to question them. More than 300 conversations were recorded between the two, the highest among the numbers examined, increasing police suspicion of Subrat. Police commissioner Raghubir Lal said around 1,000 pages of call detail records had been obtained for two numbers belonging to Vishal, three to Subrat and two to Shalu.
Vishal reiterated that he carried out the killing at her behest, police said While Shalu denied involvement and remained silent on several questions. Investigators are closely examining the communication between Vineet’s son Subrat and Vishal, after analysing call detail records of seven mobile numbers. The police are also looking into Subrat’s links with Vishal as part of the investigation. Investigating officer and Kalyanpur police station in-charge Keshav Tiwari questioned Shalu and Vishal in jail after securing court permission. Police plan to seek custody remand for Shalu and Vishal and question the two face-to-face with Subrat.
