New Delhi – A probe by central intelligence agencies has found that a United Kingdom-based associate of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi outsourced the hit against stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui to two men in Delhi, reports said. The stand up comedian has been provided a security cover by the Mumbai Police in view of the threats from the Bishnoi gang.

The probe into the murder case led the police to one of the shooters, who was arrested in a separate case by the Special Task Force in Haryana last month. During interrogation, he revealed information about the hit against Faruqui. The shooter had been recruited by UK- based gangster Rohit Godara.

While questioning the men, police found that some of them had also conducted a recce of a prominent hotel in New Friends Colony, but were not aware of their target at the time, reports said.

“That’s when a team of Delhi Police, who were simultaneously probing Nadir Shah’s murder, visited the hotel in New Friends Colony last month and found Faruqui’s name on the guest list. Faruqui was in Delhi to participate in the Entertainers Cricket League,” the source added.
