They were all in Bunty’s car when three men boarded the car at Daurala village in Meerut. These three were the local contract killers Bunty had hired to eliminate,” said a police officer.

“They then drove away towards a forested area close to the highway and reached the bed of the dried up water body, colloquially known as Kali Nadi in Ikhtiyarpur area, fuelling more suspicion. There they asked Sonia and her daughters to come out of the car,” said the officer. When they came out, Zulfikaar allegedly took a country made firearm and shot a round into Arshi’s head.

Next day, he also allegedly killed the realtor’s sons Sakib and Akib. When Sakib and Akib reached Bunty’s office to find out the whereabouts of their family members, Bunty also eliminated them.

“Bunty and his men took them to the first floor of their office building, tied their limbs and gagged their mouths. In the meantime, they dug up the ground floor of the house. The boys remained in that state for nearly 24 to 30 hours before being strangulated to death and buried in the pit they had dug up,” said the officer. After this they put 10 kg salt and 15 bottles of perfume to suppress the foul smell before layering it with soil and concrete.
