Days after Rachna Yadav, a resident of Shalimar Bagh, was shot dead at point-blank range by two bike-borne assailants, police on Monday denied the possibility that she was a target of the accused, who were involved in the killing of her husband, Bharat Yadav.
Delhi Police is exploring Rachna Yadav’s connections other than the possible linkages with Bharat Yadav’s death, the police told The Hindu on Monday.
Based on the CCTV footage and exploring the fact that she was not the material witness in her husband’s murder case, the police said attempts are being made to identify other possible enmities she may have had.
Rachna Yadav was allegedly killed after the assailants waited for three hours. Her husband, Bijender Yadav, was shot dead in the same manner in 2023.
“Her death is being seen as a witness killing. However, it must be noted that she was not a material witness in the case. Keeping that in mind, we are also exploring whether she had enmities with any other possible persons,” said Additional Commissioner of Police (North West), Bhisham Singh.
