A UP court convicted 2 retired govt clerks of the women welfare dept, along with their seven aides, in a nine-year-old case of murder. Probe revealed that contract killers were hired by clerks Mukund Lal and Chunnilal for Rs 3 lakh to kill Pushpendra Yadav as he knew of a scam.
Pushpendra had worked in the same dept for six years. The victim’s father levelled charges against both ‘babus‘, stating that they had embezzled govt funds worth Rs 20cr.
