UP, 7/7: In a bizarre development, a doctor in Uttar Pradesh’s Shahjahanpur district has approached the police and sought security cover after an alleged contract killer informed him that he had been asked to eliminate him.
Som Shekhar Dixit, who runs Shekhar hospital at Brij Vihar colony, has lodged an FIR stating that the killer had a change of heart as his life was once saved by him and alerted him about the conspiracy over phone.
The FIR has been registered against one Rajan Sharma (alleged professional killer) and other unidentified people at the Shahjahan Kotwali police station under IPC sections 120-B (criminal conspiracy) and 507 (criminal intimidation).
Shahjahanpur ASP (city) Sudhir Jaiswal said on Friday that the doctor had been provided security cover following the threat.
