Rs 4 Lakh For Hitjob: Delhi's "Lady Don" Behind Air India Crew's Chilling Murder

The plot was carried out in collaboration with Naveen Sharma, who was paid Rs 1.5 lakh in advance for obtaining the weapons, with the remaining amount to be settled after the killing.

"Lady Don" Kajal Khatri, arrested on Wednesday by the Delhi Crime Branch, has confessed to organising Air India crew member Suraj Mann's killing in January 2023 for a sum of Rs 4 lakh. 

According to the police, the plot was carried out in collaboration with Naveen Sharma, who was paid Rs 1.5 lakh in advance for obtaining the weapons, with the remaining amount to be settled after the killing. However, the plan unravelled when Noida Police arrested Sharma before the full payment was made.

"We are preparing to take swift action against Kajal under the Gangster Act," Additional DCP Noida Police Manish Kumar Mishra said. Several more names have surfaced during the investigation, and efforts are underway to apprehend all involved, police said.
