During questioning, accused said that in 2015, he was serving in army when some people approached him and offered a hefty amount to eliminate Sushil Srivastava after which they hatched a conspiracy and well-planned incident of shootout was carried in Hazaribagh court complex with an AK assault rifle in which Sushil and two more men were eliminated.
He said to have escaped from the court complex after the shootout but received a bullet in foot in retaliation by police but he succeeded to keep his identity hidden from everyone and was away from police investigation.
After this shootout, he was paid a hefty amount by the people who hatched conspiracy of this incident and later he went on voluntary retirement from army services and was living life away from everyone’s eyes until Jammu police developed some information and managed to trace and arrest the prime accused and sharp shooter of this sensational shootout case.
