Patna, November 14, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Police have solved the murder of Irfan Imam, alias Kallu Driver, in Bihar’s Simri village within 36 hours, uncovering an alleged conspiracy involving his wife and her lover.
According to police, Irfan’s wife, Neha Parveen, alias Fauzia Firdaus, allegedly conspired with her lover to have her husband killed. She reportedly paid Rs 40,000 to arrange a contract killer, with the money withdrawn from her husband’s own bank account.
Police have arrested Neha Parveen, her alleged lover Karan Chaudhary and a minor in connection with the murder. The alleged shooter who carried out the killing remains absconding.
Danapur Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Amarendra Kumar Jha said a special investigation team was formed under Bihta Station House Officer Amit Kumar following the murder. The team pursued technical inputs and other evidence to investigate the case.
During the investigation, police questioned Neha, whose interrogation reportedly provided crucial leads. Karan Chaudhary, son of Pramod Chaudhary and a resident of Simri village, and a minor were subsequently arrested.
Police said Neha and Karan had allegedly been in a relationship for three years and had plotted to eliminate Irfan, whom they considered an obstacle to their relationship.
As part of the alleged plan, Karan arranged a shooter for Rs 40,000. Police said Neha withdrew the money from her husband’s bank account to finance the killing. An advance payment of Rs 20,000 was allegedly made to the shooter, with the remaining amount to be paid after the murder.
DSP Jha said the alleged conspiracy emerged during the questioning of the accused, particularly Karan. Police have also recovered the motorcycle allegedly used in the crime.
The main shooter remains at large, and the weapon used in the murder is yet to be recovered. Police teams are conducting raids at suspected locations to arrest the absconding accused and recover the weapon.
