Mumbai, January 28: A special court today acquitted five persons, accused of firing at TV producer Anand Mahendroo, due to lack of evidence.
Mahendroo, producer of the famous television show, ‘Dekh Bhai Dekh,’ was shot at by a person in January 2006 at suburban Andheri.
The police had arrested prime accused, L M Singh, soon after the incident and four others for conspiracy.
According to the police, Singh, who was employed with Mahendroo, had been sent behind bars after he was caught red handed stealing from the producer’s house.
Soon after his release in 2006, Singh along with other accused — Mohammad Haroon Shaikh, Nadeem Khan, Shah Shabbir and Taiyyab — decided to take revenge on the producer and kill him.
