Noida: In a major breakthrough in the murder case of Deputy
Superintendent of Police of National Investigation Agency (NIA), Tanzil Ahmed,
the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) on Tuesday arrested Muneer, the
prime accused in the case.
Muneer has been arrested from Noida and has been taken to an undisclosed
location for questioning.
The Uttar Pradesh Police had announced a reward of Rs 2 lakh on Muneer,
who was absconding in the murder case of Tanzil Ahmed. The police had earlier

his two associates and attacked Tanzil Ahmed, when he was driving back home
with his family from a wedding near his village Sahaspur in Bijnor. He was in
Noida for the last three days. A 9mm pistol was also recovered, the official
said.
According to reports, different investigative agencies along with the NIA
are questioning Muneer. Ahmed, an assistant commandant with the Border Security
Force (BSF) on deputation to the NIA, was killed by two motorcycle-borne
assailants on April 2 this year, when he was driving back home with his family
from a wedding near his village Sahaspur in Bijnor.
As per latest news, Ahmed had proceeded on leave on April 1 after
completing his job as the liaison officer for the five-member Pakistan Joint
Investigation Team (JIT) that was in Delhi to probe the Pathankot
attack. His story of his death became a national news.
Ahmed had been with NIA since its inception in 2009. NIA Deputy
Superintendent of Police Mohammed Tanzil, 45, and his wife Farzana were shot
from close range by two unidentified gunmen on a motorcycle near Sahaspur town.
His wife survived the injury. The couple’s children were not hurt in the
attack.
