All the seven accused in the murder of a chemist in Maharashtra's Amravati have been taken into custody by the National Investigative Agency NIA), the officials said today.
The signatories include former chief justice of the Bombay High Court Kshitij Vyas, former Gujarat High Court judge S M Soni, former Rajasthan High Court judges R S Rathore and Prashant Agarwal and former Delhi High Court judge S N Dhingra.
The first attempt to kill Amravati chemist Umesh Kolhe was made on June 20, a day before his throat was slit by two men in a crime chillingly similar to the Udaipur tailor's murder a week later.
