Both Sunil and Rajat have reportedly confessed to accepting a ₹30 lakh contract to kill Mohini. The contract was allegedly given by advocate Mustafa Kamil and his sons. Both Sunil and Rajat had bounties of ₹1 lakh each for their arrests. Police recovered a car used in the murder, a country-made pistol, another firearm, Mohini’s mobile phone, and a stamp bearing Mohini’s name from their possession.
During interrogation, they admitted to being involved in the murder. They told the police that on 3rd September, they traveled to Kasganj Court in a car. They posed as clients wanting to arrange a marriage and lured Mohini into their car. Later, they strangled her to death and dumped her body in the canal. Earlier, two other conspirators, Bobby and Renu, were also arrested by the police for their alleged role in the crime.
Speaking to the media, Kasganj Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Rajesh Bharti said that Sunil Fauji confessed to receiving ₹30 lakh from advocate Mustafa Kamil and his sons Haider and Asad Mustafa, along with Salman, Munazir Rafi, and Keshav Mishra, to kill Mohini. Sunil recruited Rajat, Bobby, and Renu to execute the plan to murder Mohini. They called Mohini out of the court under the pretext of seeking help for a court marriage. Renu and Bobby posed as the couple to make it more believable.
Notably, on 30th July 2024, Haider and Salman Mustafa brutally assaulted a man named Shivshankar in the Kasganj court premises and even tore off his shikha. As Mustafa Kamil was an influential person in the court premises, no lawyer was willing to take Shivshankar’s case. Mohini Tomar, however, stepped forward and represented him. Her efforts caused a delay in Kamil’s sons getting bail from the court, which angered him.
They reportedly threatened Mohini Tomar with dire consequences for opposing the bail plea of Kamil’s sons. She had previously expressed her fear to her husband that she could face physical harm. Ultimately, Kamil hired contract killers to murder Mohini. Further legal proceedings in the case are underway.
