April 02, 2013 18:32

The Delhi police is investigating the role of a "spiritual guru" who is suspected to have hired shooters for Rs 50 lakh to Rs 1 crore to kill local BSP leader Deepak Bhardwaj even as they are trying to unravel the "complex web of conspirators".

Purushottam Rana, who along with another alleged shooters Sunil Mann and Amit refused to undergo the test identification parade today and were remanded in police custody for 10 days, in his disclosure statement has said that the main accused in this case is a "swamiji" and he is yet to be arrested, the police told a Delhi court.

Police sources said the two arrested shooters, who allegedly murdered Bhardwaj in his south Delhi farmhouse on March 26, have told them that a "spiritual guru" gave them the contract to kill the BSP leader for an amount that is believed to be between Rs 50 lakh and Rs 1 crore.
