Mohali, Jan. 7 -- A week after the shocking murder of Ashok Goyal, the wife of former Punjab additional advocate general (AAG) KK Goyal, at their Phase 5 residence, police have arrested the second accused, Rahul, from Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh. On the intervening night of December 29 and 30, the family's domestic help, Neeraj, 25, who had been working for them for over eight years, had allegedly murdered Ashok along with his two accomplices after she resisted a robbery attempt by the trio. At the time of the incident, KK Goyal and one of the couple's two daughters were abroad in Oman to meet the second daughter, leaving Ashok alone at home with Neeraj. Police said Ashok was sleeping when Neeraj let his two accomplices in late at night. She reportedly woke up and tried to resist the intruders, following which the trio strangled her to death. Two of the suspects then fled with Rs.8.5 lakh in cash and 40 tolas of gold jewellery, after tying Neeraj to a chair to mislead the police. Police said Neeraj was arrested on the evening of January 1 after he confessed to plotting the whole crime. Investigating officer Devinder Singh said Neeraj did not maintain a permanent residence in Mohali and had been staying with the victim's family intermittently. Police traced his accomplices' movement through extensive CCTV analysis, finding them leaving on a train from Chandigarh Railway Station. Two police teams were sent to UP's Fatehpur district, where Rahul was arrested during a raid.HTC...
