The police have arrested seven more people, including two women, who were allegedly part of the conspiracy to murder the former Vice-Chancellor of Alliance University, Ayyappa Dore. He was murdered while taking a walk at the HMT playground near his house in R.T. Nagar on October 15.

The accused have been identified as Kantharaju, 28, a drummer; Sunil Rao, 31, an executive in a private bank; his brother-in-law, Arun Kumar, 40; Fayaz, 29, a mechanic from J.C. Nagar; and Vinay, 24, cab driver also from J.C. Nagar.

The women have been identified as Fayaz’s sister Rizwana, 38, and Salma, 28, a dance bar girl who was in a relationship with one of the prime accused in the case, Suraj Singh.

“Four of the accused actively took part in the reconnaissance and attacked Dore with lethal weapons along with Suraj, killing him on the spot,” said a police officer. Suraj had allegedly been promised ₹1 crore by the Chancellor and co-founder of Alliance University, Sudhir Angur, to murder Dore. Sudhir had also instructed him to murder his brother and varsity co-founder Madhukar Angur so that he could gain control over the varsity, the police said.
