On the night of December 27, Hullan and Sangram went to Dr Sahu’s clinic, where Hullan shot him on his chest, resulting in his death.
They fled the scene on Santosh’s motorcycle, while Santosh waited in his car a short distance from the scene. He later fled to Ujjain and is currently evading the police. The police arrested the prime accused, Saloni Sahu, along with Manoj Sumant, Prakash Yadav and Sangram Yadav, while Santosh Sharma and Hullan Yadav remain at large.
Sunil’s wife Saloni met Santosh in 2021, about one and a half years before her marriage to Sunil.
Sunil’s wife was working at an advisory firm where Santosh was a client. She came into contact with him through this firm.
