Transporter found murdered in Lucknow; driver, aide detained
In a tragic incident, a transporter was discovered dead with two gunshot wounds after being reported missing. Authorities have detained his driver and an associate as part of the investigation. Preliminary findings indicate that a property dispute, valued at approximately eight crore rupees, may have been the motive behind this heinous act.
In Lucknow, a 40-year-old transporter named Dhirendra Pratap Singh went missing and was later found murdered with bullet injuries in his SUV. Singh, who was originally from Unnao, was identified by his wife Mamta Singh after he disappeared. Police detained Singh's driver, Ravi Pandit, and an aide in connection with the crime. The victim's body was recovered from a canal near Dubagga, and his Fortuner SUV was seized.
The police suspect that Singh was shot inside his SUV before his body was disposed of. It is believed that a property dispute worth around Rs 8 crore in Unnao may have led to the murder. Police are investigating the nature of the dispute, identifying those involved, and probing whether the accused had connections with opponents of Singh.
They are also examining Singh's land dealings and recent interactions. Teams are analyzing CCTV footage, reconstructing Singh's movements, and reviewing his call records to establish the sequence of events and identify any additional conspirators. Strict action will be taken against anyone found to be involved in the crime.
