A legal representation dispute in the Ketan Agarwal murder case has triggered a Rs 10-crore defamation notice against accused Siya Goyal’s brother, Sahil.
Police recovered a rope, tablets, alcohol bottles and a handwritten note from the locked room. Investigators examine murder, hanging and poisoning as possible causes pending post-mortem and forensic findings and Ali’s statement after recovery.
On April 18, 1990, then 27-year-old Sarla Bhatt, a staff nurse at the Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) in Srinagar, was abducted near the hospital. She was brutally assaulted and shot dead with an automatic rifle in Omer Colony, Malbagh.
Faiyaz Premji told the police that his wife left him two years ago, and he believed that the whole world conspired against him. Disgruntled over this, the accused wanted to kill over 15,000 people.
Faiyaz disguised the poison as painkillers and Ayurvedic supplements, distributing professionally packaged sachets near Rehmatabad Cemetery before one victim’s vomiting prompted doctors to alert police and trigger his later arrest from a Dongri hotel.
