Vijay Yadav’s Confession to the Police
Vijay, the alleged assassin of gangster Sanjeev Jeeva, travelled to Nepal days before the heinous court murder. He allegedly admitted to the police that he had contact with the mafia. He had been shown a picture of Jeeva and given a 20 lakh rupee payment guarantee. He offered the man a handgun and 5,000 rupees to kill him.
In Nepal, the shooter Vijay had met Ashraf, a companion of the murdered mobster Atiq Ahmed. Amar Ujala claims that Ashraf ordered Vijay to kill Jeeva for Rs 20 lakh. He wished to get rid of Jeeva because he allegedly harassed Ateef, who was being held in jail in Lucknow. Henchmen for Ashraf assist Vijay with logistics. The police are confirming his account of the crime.
Police Reaction to the Confession of Vijay Yadav
According to reports, the Special Investigation Team does not consider Vijay Yadav’s statement completely valid. However, on the basis of his confession, he has been included in the investigation.
Vijay claimed that while making his inquiry at the hospital, Ashraf approached him and informed him that his brother Atif was being held in the Lucknow jail. He further confessed that only a few days prior, Jeeva had pulled his beard and repeatedly abused him. As a result, Ashraf demanded the removal of the Mukhtar Ansari gang member.
The SIT is investigating the relationship between Vijay and Jeeva to learn more about the primary motive for the murder. In addition, the authorities are attempting to determine why Sanjeev Jeeva was killed and who ordered it.
