Bijnor: Police today attached the property of the alleged mastermind in the murder case of NIA officer Tanzil Ahmad and his wife.

Superintendent of Police Bijnor Subhash Singh Baghel said the property of absconding accused Muneer was impounded by eight police teams. Uttar Pradesh Police had arrested two alleged killers including a relative of Ahmad even as the alleged mastermind, Mr Muneer, is still on the run.

The Special Task Force and Anti-Terror Squad are also on the lookout for Mr Muneer and he would be nabbed soon, Mr Baghel said.

Mr Ahmad, probing terror cases related to Indian Mujahideen, was shot dead by two unidentified motorcycle-borne assailants who also wounded his wife when they were returning home from a wedding near Uttar Pradesh's Bijnor town.

The officer's wife succumbed to bullet injuries at AIIMS hospital on April 13.
