Driver held for murder of Ola CEO's granny, aunt

The city police have arrested the driver of the slain relatives of Ola Cabs CEO Bhavish Aggarwal in connection with their murder.

Aggarwal's grandmother Pushpawati (84) and his aunt Sarita Devi (55) were found dead in their home at Sher-e-Punjab Colony in Badowal locality here on January 29.

The family's driver Sukhpal Singh alias Bagga, a resident of nearby Flewal village, has been arrested for the double murder, said Police Commissioner Paramraj Singh Umranangal.

Sukhpal told the police that he went to the victims' residence and demanded Rs 5,000 from them on the pretext of getting married. But the two refused to give him the money, which infuriated him and he allegedly attacked the two with a hammer and slit their throats with a kitchen knife. 

The two victims, who are the mother and wife of a noted city cardiologist Dr Rakesh Aggarwal, were found in a pool of blood by their domestic help.
