In a horrible incident, a 22-year-old youth murdered his mother in an attempt to frame the rivals of his ‘guru’ in Meerut district of Uttar Pradesh. The accused has been identified as Vishal.

The youth shot dead his mother to save his ‘guru’ Brajesh Sharma, who is a co-accused in a murder case and is currently lodged in Muzaffarnagar district jail.

According to a report in Times of India, the accused Vishal was released on bail 6 months ago in connection with the murder case of one Vinay Malik.

Vinay was killed over a partnership dispute of a school in Hastinapur town of Meerut.

Vishal hatched a conspiracy to bump off his mother and put the blame of her murder on the detractors of Brijesh Sharma. Vinay thought this way he could force the rivals of the Brijesh into a compromise in the murder case of Vinay Malik.

“The accused initially tried to mislead us claiming three unidentified men killed his mother. During the intensive interrogation and recording of witnesses’ statements, the man confessed to committing the crime,” said Superintendent of Police (Rural) Avinash Pandey. 

Police said Brijesh had hired his then student Vishal to kill Vinay Malik on the pretext of giving him a job.

He also promised Vishal to get him out of jail if he was caught by police after the crime.
