Three suspects allegedly involved in the murder of a Greater Noida-based businessman`s teenage son were arrested on Wednesday, police said. Two of them were held in the night after a gunfight with the police in which one of them received a bullet wound, they said. Police said the encounter took place near the Dadha roundabout when the accused, who were on their way to destroy evidence related to the crime, were intercepted on the basis of a tip-off. Both the accused were known to Kunal Sharma, 14, who was found dead along the Gang Canal in adjoining Bulandshahr district on Sunday, five days after he went missing from outside the restaurant run by his father Krishna Kumar Sharma in Greater Noida`s Beta 2 area.
"Officials of Beta 2 Police Station and the SWAT team were continuously working on the case. Today we got an information that the accused are in a car and on their way to dispose evidence related to the case," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Greater Noida) Saad Miya Khan said. "We were carrying out combing operation in the wake of the information and in the evening, we held the two suspects after an encounter. During the gunfight, accused Kunal (Bhati) suffered injuries. His friend Himanshu (Singh Chaudhary) was also arrested," Khan said.
