The Story in Brief
Delhi Police have arrested five men for the murder of Deepak Dabas, 45, who was run over by an SUV in Kanjhawala on July 16 after surviving two earlier attempts on his life. The main conspirator, Pawan alias Jagpal Dabas, was arrested on August 12. Police said the motive was a 22-year-old enmity stemming from Deepak's alleged harassment of Pawan's sister.
The first attempt involved firing outside Deepak's brother's house. The second, on July 2, was a staged car accident when Deepak was deliberately hit while on his scooter. After both failed, the conspirators used a Scorpio to run him over. DCP Shashank Jaiswal said the arrested include Sagar, who drove the car in the July 2 attempt, and Prince, who arranged the Scorpio. Two vehicles and mobile phones have been recovered.
The Indian Opinion
The tale of a 22-year-old grudge leading to two failed murder attempts before success will test Delhi Police's claim of diligent investigation. While the accused's criminal records are known, questions linger over why the July 2 car hit was not treated as attempted murder earlier. The next hearing in court will reveal if the conspiracy was truly this single-minded or if other motives remain hidden.
