Dehradun Police Arrest Woman in Businessman Murder Case Following Sharpshooter's Detention

Dehradun Police arrested Humera alias Zoya from Saharanpur in connection with the murder of businessman Ajay Bhateja last year. Zoya's arrest followed that of co-accused Rajan alias Jacky, a sharpshooter, who was detained on May 19. Both were allegedly hired by Ajay's stepbrother Amit over a property dispute. Police said Rajan smothered Ajay with a pillow and staged the scene as a suicide. Investigations involved surveillance and CCTV footage, with charges filed under Section 103 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
