Police on Sunday arrested inspector Jay Narayan Singh and sub-inspector Akshay Mishra on the charge of killing Manish Gupta, a Kanpur-based real estate developer who was an “admirer” of Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath, in a Gorakhpur hotel on September 27.

Meenakshi, wife of Gupta, had alleged that six policemen had barged into the hotel room in the name of routine checking but they were actually there to extort money from the guests.

Gupta died after being allegedly beaten up by the cops in his hotel room for taking time to show his identity proof.

Meenakshi had alleged that the senior administrative and police officers had tried to bully her and refused to accept her complaint.
