Investigators have formed three special teams to track suspects after reviewing CCTV footage; the victim’s family refuses to claim his body until arrests are made.

Overview

  • Vikas Sharma, 30, son of a local BJP leader and operator of Anuj Multispecialty Hospital, was fatally stabbed on Rampura Road late Thursday night.
  • Authorities have registered a murder case against fellow hospital owner Anil Sharma, his brother-in-law Happy, and seven unidentified assailants based on preliminary inquiries.
  • Police have dispatched three special teams across Jind district to follow leads and meet the family’s ultimatum for arrests within 24 hours.
