KATHMANDU: The Metropolitan Police Range, Hanumandhoka, today formally submitted a dossier to the Office of Government Attorneys seeking murder and attempted murder charges against eight persons, including former DSP Jagadish Chand, in the Jamim Shah murder case. The others are Sub-Inspector of police Prakash Chhetri, Kishor Khadka, Laxman Dhamala, Roshan Kumar Pandey, Shree Krishna Poudel, Dilip Thapa and Birendra Kumar Godi. The police are yet to act against another accused, Raju Lama. Chand may have fled to India, a police official said. The police have already netted Chhetri, Khadka, Thapa, Dhamala and Pandey. However, Chand, Poudel and Godi are still absconding. Media baron Shah was killed by two unidentified men on a motorcycle in Lazimpat on February 7. “We have been doing everything we can to nab the absconders,” said SP Ganesh KC, in-charge at the MPR. Babbu allegedly hatched the conspiracy to kill Shah on orders from Om Prakash Shrivastava, alias ‘Babloo’, an Indian gangster languishing in an Uttar Pradesh jail. Police said a five-foot-three-inch man in his 20s was the main shooter. Mohammad Bakar Saiyed had driven the motorcycle used in the shooting. Babbu, Saiyed, Guddu Singh alias Ravin, the unidentified shooter, and two others are also absconding. Poudel helped arrange the gun and the motorcycle for the murder, police said. Pandey, the owner of Everest Communications, New Baneshwor, had provided mobile SIM cards to those involved in the shooting, while Thapa sold the motorcycle to the shooters, police said. Meanwhile, police said that Sabita Shrestha, whose house was used by Babbu and three others to put up for the night Shah was killed, is innocent.
