Her elder brother Dheeraj Arora and sister Sonia Mehrotra told reporters on Thursday that it was difficult to believe she could have orchestrated the killing.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/>Arora said Shalu was close to Vineet and regularly looked after his food and other daily needs. <!-- -->He also questioned why Subrat had remained silent and said the family had been unable to contact him since the murder.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>Police are now trying to establish whether Subrat knew about the alleged plan.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>&#8220;Subrat has neither been arrested nor made an accused in the case,&#8221; Commissioner of Police Raghubir Lal told PTI. He said his call detail records and other intelligence inputs were being examined.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>&#8220;If his involvement is established during the investigation, action will be taken against him,&#8221; Lal said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>One of the questions investigators are trying to answer is how Shalu could allegedly communicate with <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/vishal\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vishal<\/a> while planning the murder without her husband becoming aware of it.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>According to police, Shalu arranged for Vishal and Raj Kishore to enter the apartment and hide in her bedroom before she left with Subrat for a party.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>The couple allegedly reached the lounge around 10.30pm and returned home around 3am, when they found Vineet&#8217;s body.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>Investigators are now examining videos purportedly showing Shalu dancing at the gathering to establish whether they were recorded on the night of the murder.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>&#8220;We are also examining communication between Shalu and Vishal. We have recovered data from their seized phones and are trying to retrieve deleted messages,&#8221; Lal said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>The investigation into their communication has thrown up what police describe as an extended exchange between Shalu and Vishal.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>A senior police official said Vishal had initially been sending Shalu good morning and good night messages without receiving a response. About three months before the murder, police said, she began replying and gradually started engaging with him.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>According to the officer, Shalu complimented Vishal on his appearance, telling him he was smart. She also asked whether he was in a relationship and why he had not yet married.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"40\"\/>Police believe the conversations marked the beginning of the alleged murder plan. Investigators suspect Shalu intentionally manipulated Vishal into carrying out the killing.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"42\"\/>The digital trail has become a key part of the investigation. Police said 49 messages exchanged between Shalu and Vishal from May 1 until the day of the murder had been deleted. During the same period, the two allegedly exchanged 309 calls.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"46\"\/>DCP West SM Qasim Abidi said Vishal deleted his chat history with Shalu after the murder, but was unable to completely erase the WhatsApp call records.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"48\"\/>Shalu&#8217;s lawyer, Shivakant Dixit, has disputed the police characterisation of the gathering she attended on the night of the murder. He said it was a &#8216;regular kitty&#8217; involving people associated with the pharmaceutical trade and not a &#8220;high-society party&#8221;.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"50\"\/>Vineet, 60, was found murdered inside his Kanpur flat on September 5. Police have since been investigating Shalu&#8217;s alleged role, the involvement of the two suspected contract killers.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/lucknow\/looked-after-his-food-medicine-family-of-bahu-accused-of-killing-bizman-denies-charges-husband-under-scanner\/articleshow\/134040324.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to police Shalu began planning the murder about three months ago.
