Jamshedpur, October 3: Police have arrested Agni Pathak, the prime accused in the shooting of Mahesh Mishra in JEMCO Mishra Garden, Telco, along with his associate Sonu, from Siwan. The weapon used in the crime was recovered based on information provided by Agni Pathak. Both suspects were brought to Jamshedpur on Wednesday night after being presented in court and placed under transit remand.
The investigation revealed that Agni Pathak and his associates fired on Mahesh Mishra under the instructions of Prakash Mishra, who is currently in custody. A diary and mobile phone found during a raid in the prisoner ward of Prakash Mishra at Rinpas, Ranchi, provided crucial leads.
