The police have initiated a fresh investigation into a 2005 double murder case that implicated a notorious gangster and five others, confirmed officials on Sunday.

Gangster Anupam Dubey, infamous for around 60 criminal cases, along with his brother and associates, allegedly gunned down their relatives, Kaushal and Krishna Devi, in Bewar area's Naviganj village on August 6, 2005. The victims' daughter promptly lodged an FIR naming the six accused.

While the initial investigation, overseen by the Bewar police and later the Etah Crime Branch, concluded without sufficient evidence, a renewed plea by the complainant has prompted the Superintendent of Police to order a new probe. Documents from the earlier inquiry are being retrieved, and fresh evidence will be gathered.
