Ghaziabad Shock: Son Gave ₹5 Lakh Supari to Kill Retired Air Force Father

Five days after a retired Indian Air Force (IAF) personnel was gunned down, police on Thursday (January 2, 2026) claimed that the murder was orchestrated by the man's sons, who hired contract killers, including a Uttar Pradesh cop.

“The victim, Yogesh [58], a retired IAF employee and a native of Baghpat district, was shot dead by two bike-borne assailants on December 26 while returning to his residence in Ashok Vihar Colony in the Loni area,” Assistant Commissioner of Police [ACP] of Loni Siddhartha Gautam said.

Police said, “Yogesh had been trying to get his house vacated by his sons, following which they allegedly plotted his murder out of greed for the property.”
