Ghaziabad news: A major revelation has been made in the investigation into the murder of retired Indian Air Force officer Yogesh Kumar. The Uttar Pradesh Police on Thursday stated that the crime was orchestrated by Kumar’s own sons, who reportedly hired contract killers to carry out the crime.

The 58-year-old officer had been attempting to get his sons to vacate his house, and authorities say the murder was allegedly motivated by greed for his property. On December 26, when he was walking towards the Delhi-Saharanpur road around 12:40 pm, two miscreants on a bike fired shot at him, which struck his head. The man was on call during the incident. He was critically injured and was declared dead upon his arrival at the hospital, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) of Loni Siddhartha Gautam stated.
