Lucknow, Nov 26 (SocialNews.XYZ) A company commander, who had been absconding after being named in the home guard scam, surrendered in a Lucknow court on Monday evening.
The commander Sushil Singh had been evading arrest after his name surfaced in the scam along with district commandant Kripa Shanker Pandey.
The police also arrested block organizer Raj Kumar Verma, two ranks below Pandey.
SHO Gomti Nagar, Amit Dubey, who is conducting the probe, said that Raj Kumar Verma was arrested from his residence in Viram Khand, Gomti Nagar on late Monday evening.
"He was in-charge of deploying home guards at seven police stations - Gomti Nagar, Vibhuti Khand, Indira Nagar, Gudamba, Bakshi-Ka-Talab, Madiaon, and Itaunja.
